The five colourful chapbooks that make up Luminescent are intended to be read in any order and are gathered together in a cover folder evocative of the night-sky. Each section loosely explores the life and context of a New Zealand woman, including celebrated writer Katherine Mansfield (Sunflowers). This poetry is both intellectual and moving; utterly contemporary, with a deep connection to the past.

In 2016, while the Katherine Mansfield Fellow in Menton, France, Anna Jackson began recording some of her thoughts and impressions in a notebook. Over the three months of her tenure this grew into a lively and charming poetic essay, which weaves her own experiences with her engagement with other writers and texts, including her predecessor Katherine Mansfield. This limited edition handbound chapbook is full of insights and surprises.
Anna Jackson lectures in English literature at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. She has published six full collections of poetry as well as Pasture and Flock: New and Selected Poems (Auckland University Press, 2018) and many academic books, articles and edited collections.
