A land ballot was the means by which Fleur Adcock's grandparents were able to bid for a piece of native bush on the slopes of Mount Pirongia in the North Island of New Zealand. Their task was to turn this unpromising acreage into a dairy farm. This sequence of poems follows the course of their efforts and builds up a portrait of a small, isolated community.
