James Brown was born in 1966 and lives in Wellington with his partner and two children. His poems have been widely published in magazines in both New Zealand and Australia. He is a past winner of the Takahe Poetry Competition and a former Editor of the literary magazine Sport. His first book of poetry, Go Round Power Please, was shortlisted in the 1996 The Montana NZ Book Awards and won the Best First Book Award for Poetry. His second collection, Lemon, was published in 1999, with Elizabeth Knox calling it 'perhaps the year's best New Zealand book'. A new book, Favourite Monsters, will be published by Victoria University Press in August 2002. James Brown also writes short fiction. His stories have appeared in Sport, Landfall, The Picnic Virgin (VUP) and Boys' Own Stories, and have also been broadcast on National Radio. He has been the recipient of several writing fellowships, including the 1994 Louis Johnson New Writers Bursary and a share of the 2000 Buddle Findlay Sargeson Fellowship. In 2001 he was the Canterbury University Writer in Residence, and in 2002 he was one of four NZ writers shortlisted for the inaugural Prize in Modern Letters. Out of Eden They tandemed, It was stinking hot. Again. They both needed to go, They started up again:
