Trespassing in Dionysia: Uncollected Early Poems 1993-1997
Trespassing in Dionysia is the second archival
collection of uncollected early poems from Mark Pirie's folders,
notebooks and unpublished manuscripts. It collects the remaining
unpublished poems from Mark Pirie's early notebooks, folders and
manuscripts (1993-1997) and shows his development from the mostly
rhyming form of the first archival collection Bottle of
Armour towards more experimental, surreal and post-modern
American forms. These poems are not in his published collections,
as they were thought unsuitable (for commercial release) or
unfinished.
Mark revised and collected them in their present form in January
2008 as an archival limited edition published by Original Books in
Wellington (not meant for commercial release).
