Plot

This new collection of poems is based on Glenn's experiences as a doctor, a profession often described as, or accused of, "playing God". Often funny, sometimes serious, always compassionate, the poems explore a range of medical experiences as diverse and dramatic as life itself. Glenn Colquhoun's The Art of Walking Upright won the 2000 Montana NZ best first book award for poetry. He has also published a children's book and An Explanation of Poetry to my Father, which sold over 1000 copies.
