About
Intimate and expressive settings of poems by Iain Lonie and Bernadette Hall. Simple in texture but demanding in performance, and ranging in mood from the capricious to the desolate. Commissioned by Tony Donaldson for performance by himself (guitar) and Robert Oliver (tenor).
Collection Day and My Toaster Tells the Time come from Dunedin poet Iain Lonie's posthumous book Winter Walk at Morning, published by Victoria University Press.
Lovesong, Song and Tomahawk Sonnet are poems written in 1997 as part of Bernadette Hall's time as Burns Fellow at The University of Otago. Originally from Dunedin, Bernadette studied Classics under Iain Lonie at Otago University.
