Victoria University professor and patron saint of its publisher, VUP, has a new string to his literary bow: jazz lyricist.
Manhire has collaborated with Wellington composer Norman Meehan on the album Buddhist Rain, using poems from his latest collection, The Victims of Lightning.
Meehan, who teaches at the NZ School of Music in Wellington, has used poetry before in his compositions, having set 20th-century US poet EE Cummings' work to music in "Sun Moon Stars Rain".
