This Paper Boat

Gregory Kan has brought forth a very engaging and brilliant collection, and after reading This Paper Boat, I cannot wait for more work from this emerging poet. – Matthias Metzler, Booksellers New Zealand

“When I was writing, I was often led by my hands more than my mind, so to speak. Sometimes I felt more like an engineer or sculptor than a writer. Hyde’s texts and mine fused together irreversibly as a block of raw marble that I then had the task of chipping away at." – Gregory Kan talking to Sarah Jane Barnett, ‘“Beautiful and imperfect plans”: An interview with Gregory Kan’ on Red Room

...a deeply-textured, incisive collection. – Siobhan Harvey, Weekend Herald

A rich and fractured first book in which two authors, their families and their many ghosts navigate oceans, forests, gardens, dreams and houses in New Zealand, Singapore and China.
