Dead Reckoning is a wonderful new collection - easy to read and intellectually stimulating - by Michael Jackson, a New Zealander who has lived and worked overseas most of his adult life, 'far too long / in another hemisphere', while continuing to publish in New Zealand. This distance and global reach inform the poems in Dead Reckoning, which sprawl from Beirut to Africa, Cape Reinga to Finisterre. The poet offers strong impressions of life in turbulent regions of the world, contrasting his early suburban life with the suffering, war, poverty and injustice he has witnessed travelling the world, and they do does this in a powerful, thought-provoking way that has real contemporary relevance. While the poems range far and wide, they also display a sense of strong sense of New Zealand. Jackson's lifetime's academic study of human nature infuses technically admirable, lyrical and fluent poems to produce wise meditations on life, how it is lived, how it ends - this is a 'reckoning' up of his past experience and his position in the world. A warm, wise and thoroughly enjoyable collection of poetry. Michael Jackson is a well-known poet who works overseas as an anthropologist. While continuing to publish his poetry in New Zealand over the decades, Jackson has had a distinguished career in anthropology that has encompassed both practical fieldwork and academic positions. He won the New Zealand Book Award for poetry in 1981 and was the 1983 Katherine Mansfield Memorial fellow. He is currently Distinguished Visiting Professor in World Religions at Harvard Divinity School.
