Man of Stone is John Irvine's early work and has been celebrated as some of his best work of poetry within New Zealand in the modern century. His ability to capture emotions, feeling, and imagery through brash and sarcastic measures is unparalleled to others. John says: Man of Stone genesis... Although I fiddled with rhyming poetry over the years it was only when I returned to NZ in 1996 from a 29 year holiday in Australia that I began to write in earnest. This came about in the traditional manner... love poetry for a girlfriend. Terrible stuff really. However, it morphed fairly quickly into observational stuff and I began to get a "feeling" for what I was doing. I met a woman on the Internet in a writer's group who was living in Greece and after a quick trip there to meet up she decided to move to NZ. This English ex-pat was the trigger for me... this novelist/writer and embryonic poet inspired me to take stock of what I was doing and I blossomed at age 60. A few years flashed by and I was submitting globally to online magazines and ezines and on fire.
