About this book

In 1976 Paul gave birth to a second daughter, Imogen, but the infant had a heart defect and died later in the year at Auckland's Greenlane Hospital. In the following months Paul ceased drawing and painting and wrote a series of poems as a lament for her daughter. This was published as Imogen by Hawk Press in 1978 and won the PEN Award for the Best First Book of Poetry that year."--Jill Trevelyan.
