The shepherd has been a constant presence in folklore and religion, usually as a symbol of the struggle between the powerful and common people, or as a wise leader. References to the shepherd crop up in stories from around the world and throughout the ages. Bill Bradford contemplates these connections as he moves from being a herder of sheep to an activist and trade unionist. These poems reflect his love of the animals he worked with, his thirst for social justice, and his concern for the environment. Drawings by Northland artist Thomas Lauterbach vividly bring the character of animals and people to life.
BILL BRADFORD grew up in Kawhia and now lives in Wellsford. He began his working life as a shepherd, first on sheep stations in Aotearoa, then in the UK. He later worked in a variety of jobs including communications, as a community activist, and as a trade union organiser. His poems have been published in journals and anthologies in New Zealand, Ireland, and England. This is his first collection.
