Sheep Truck is a collection of 29 new poems by veteran Dunedin poet Peter Olds. Subjects include flying, dental treatment, encountering Charles Bukowski in the Dunedin Public Library, and not wanting to get out of bed. He writes his ' last poem' , which proves not to be his last poem, has the occasional gripe about aging (' I could show you how I once drank wine/& danced on table tops--but I can barely/climb into a chair now' ) and leaves us with a ' rough draft' of a Good Friday lockdown poem (' There' s a boy on a cross, dying. God knows/why: he' s so young, so green & so kind. ' ). This is Mr Olds' sixth outing with Cold Hub Press, the major one being his selected poems, You fit the description. He was recently honoured with a plaque in the Dunedin Writers Walk.
Beginning with Lady Moss Revived in 1972 Peter Olds has published nine full collections of poetry as well as numerous broadsheets and chapbooks. He was a Robert Burns fellow at the University of Otago in 1978. In 2005 he was an inaugural recipient of the Janet Frame Literary Trust Award for Poetry. His selected poems, You fit the description, was published by Cold Hub Press in 2014. This is Mr Olds' sixth outing with Cold Hub Press. He was recently honoured with a plaque in the Dunedin Writers Walk.
