David Eggleton is a prolific poet, writer and critic.

His other awards include six times Book Reviewer of the Year in the Montana New Zealand Book Awards, PEN Best First Book of Poetry in 1987 and the Robert Burns Fellowship.

"What is invariably terrific in Eggletons poetry is not only the relish of his attack, but the flash of lyric underwing colour as he dives on his prey." IAN WEDDE
