American Retrospective

AMERICAN RETROSPECTIVE Poems 1961-2016 Eleanor Rimoldi ISBN 978-0-473-42208-0 56 pages Perfect bound, 148mm x 210mm Category: Poetry RRP $25.00 Release date: 1 March 2018 More information & ordering: hicksvillepress.com/american-retrospective At the age of 22, Eleanor Rimoldi left New York to begin a long journey to the other side of the world. Sitting on the train to San Francisco, she began the first poem in this collection: a haunting farewell to the country of her birth. Over the next 57 years, in America and New Zealand, through migration, marriage and separation, motherhood and career, Rimoldi has continued to write. With a distinctive, precise and powerful voice, her poems burrow deep into love and grief and the nature of home. This first comprehensive selection of Eleanor Rimoldi’s poetry collects both published and previously unseen poems. Eleanor Rimoldi was born and raised in Buffalo, New York and emigrated to New Zealand in 1961. She has taught anthropology at universities in Auckland, Tonga and Bougainville. Her poems have been published in numerous journals, magazines and anthologies (previously under the names Eleanor Horrocks and Eleanor Clarke). She currently lives on Waiheke Island in Auckland.
