Respirator by David Eggleton
Respirator is a sumptuous celebration of David Eggleton's tenure as the Aotearoa NZ Poet Laureate (2019- 22). In this collection, Eggleton explores how the social changes and upheavals of the past four extraordinary years manifested in Aotearoa NZ, from the impact of living through a pandemic to ecological concerns, technological changes, and shifting viewpoints about identity and global consumerism.
