Earth and Elsewhere

Introducing this new collection, renowned actor Ian Mune describes it as a journey through a dreamworld, fragile under threat of dissolution. But our journey becomes one of discovery, he says, leaving behind an old and dying home: "It may seem grim, but is actually a journey toward hope, leavened with humour".

Ian Rockel lives in Devonport, a few steps from the harbour and a short stroll to his favourite secondhand bookshop, where he enjoys losing himself among volumes and daydreams. A published historian, Ian was formerly a museum director. This is his fourth collection of poems.

In addition to his introduction to Earth & Elsewhere, Ian Mune has contributed four paintings which feature within the book.
