"Over thirty years have passed since the publication of Tuwhare's first collection of poems. He was then aged 42, a married boilermaker with three children, working on a hydro-electric project in the Eastern Bay Of Plenty - an unlikely person to be reading, let alone penning poems. He had been writing for about seven years but it was that first collection, 'No Ordinary Sun,' which turned his life around." - from the Introduction. ; Signed by Author.
