A biting new collection by award-winning poet Anne Kennedy. In The Sea Walks into a Wall, the natural world around us hits back. The sea crashes its glass onto the bar. You watch from afar. You'd take it all back if you could. Everything. You'd go down there and you'd. And talks back too. If I'm fucked, you're coming with me. Sincerely, the stream. From rainy Ihumatao to London's Kew Gardens, in the face of seas and streams, ducks and dogs, black drops and bureaucracies, humans bumble through. Without distractions you'd rush through your life like chi through an empty room. You bump into a baby and that takes up eighteen years. Love fills the room like a maze. Intelligent, playful, witty, and innovative, these poems bite where it hurts.

On an ordinary day, in ordinary New Zealand, an ordinary girl becomes extraordinary. Told through her mother's eyes, Walking to Africa follows the girl's journey through the strange, new and sometimes frightening world of mental health care. We meet specialists A through F, other kids, friends who want to help, an angel/nurse and the Ghostman - alongside therapies and cures, strategies and rites. Walking to Africa is a fluid and unusual narrative collection of poetry that portrays a parent's experience of coming to terms with the new and frightening world of mental health care. Jessica Le Bas wrote the collection to find a place of reconciliation, a harbour from the waywardness of life. By the end of the book she ushers in understanding: mental illness may have no definitive solutions but there are ways of living with it. Walking to Africa is without doubt the most moving collection of poems to appear in New Zealand for many years.

If you are an imperfect human being who struggles with the daily challenges life throws at you, then this is the right devotional for you. From losing battles against spiders and bees to unsuccessfully fixing a leaky water pipe, I am just as imperfect as the next person. When faced with lifes little moments where I have had to decide if I will be angry at a rusty old lawn mower or learn to have patience, I have found that only God can provide the peace of mind that gets me through each day. Each devotion tells a story of the frustrating yet funny things that may happen in each of our lives and the need for Gods helping hand in each situation. So if you are looking for a book that will tell you how to live your life, this is not the book for you. But I do pray that you will find this collection of writings to be uplifting, encouraging, and filled with a bit of humor as you take your individual journey towards a loving relationship with Christ.
