Publisher's Synopsis

In this sequence of poems, the Roman emperor Tiberius Claudius Nero is represented drawing pointed connections between power politics in ancient Rome and power politics in the New Zealand of the 1980s. Satirizing such current bones of contention as ministerial appointments, law and order, and identity cards, the poet/emperor also reflects on such universal themes as love, death, loneliness, and art.
