Early Egypt and the Late Egyptians  

by Nelson Wattie     
(Number 11 in the ESAW Mini series)

Nelson Wattie lives as a freelance translator in Wellington. Over thirty-five years he has translated more than seven million words from English into German and from German, Dutch, Norwegian, French, Italian and Spanish into English. Once he spent three weeks walking along the Austrian Danube from romantic village to romantic village. Once he sang Benjamin Britten in an open-air theatre near Salzburg. Once he travelled across Siberia by train. Once he co-edited The Oxford Companion to New Zealand Literature. Once he worked as a wine waiter in a Viennese restaurant. Once he sang Ross Harris (and Alistair Te Ariki Campbell) for Radio New Zealand. Once he completed a doctorate in literature at the University of Wuppertal. Once, in the dark shadow of the full moon, he surreptitiously relieved his bladder against the right leg of the Sphinx.

Early Egypt and the Late Egyptians is his second book of poems in sixty-seven years.
