Sam Hunt at the Portobello Pub by Robin White

As described by the DPAG ‘Easy in his body and full of shaggy charm, the poet Sam Hunt squints into the same westerly wind that blows his hair back. Sun bathes the white wall of the pub behind him and stamps a crisp wedge of light inside its doorway. You could set your watch by the angle of the shadow. It’s mid-morning, almost opening time. But there’s no rush. Long before ‘heartland New Zealand’ became a cliché, Robin White took the time to chronicle things and places usually glimpsed only in passing. From backblocks monuments to plain Deco houses, she transformed commonplace sights into paintings as calm and solid as an Egyptian frieze.’
