Despite his best intentions, Paul Henry has written his third book. It's a charming and eccentric ramble through the United States and back to New Zealand during the Covid-19 pandemic. There are two weddings, an election, a new TV show and his love affair with Palm Springs, sad desert motels, road trips and other passions. A fascinating window into the intriguing world of Paul Henry. 'I love the USA. And in this book, in real time, over the first six months of 2020, I chronicle my thoughts and actions and draw from my past to try and work out why. I'm brutally honest and clearly disturbed, magnificently so! I literally don't care what people think. You will be surprised. This is me, now . . . You're welcome.' Paul Henry

Bestselling hilarious memoir from New Zealand's most controversial media star. Paul Henry is a natural-born story teller who spins a great yarn, and who says, 'I'll apologise for hurting people's feelings but I'll never apologise for being outrageous'.Paul Henry is a natural-born story teller who spins a great yarn, and who says, 'I'll apologise for hurting people's feelings but I'll never apologise for being outrageous'. From the man whose controversial comments on TV divided the country, and almost caused an international incident, comes this very funny memoir. Packed with stories from his eventful childhood and his long and adventurous career in journalism, this is a gripping, often hilarious and always entertaining read. It gives a fascinating insight into the complex character of Paul Henry. He's surprising — he doesn't subscribe to any expected set of beliefs, he's an individual with contradictory opinions. He's bold — he set himself up as an international news correspondent working out of his Masterton lounge, watching CNN and jetting off to the latest hotspot. He's talked himself into getting interviews with people as diverse as Peter Ustinov and the Prime Minister of Malaysia; he was there for the funerals of Diana and Mother Theresa; he's been thrown into jail in Iraq. He's versatile — starting with drama school, then broadcasting at the BBC, head of Radio NZ, standing for parliament against Georgina Beyer, international correspondent — as well as protesting at Mururoa and running an antique shop and his own radio station. And, he's all-round entertaining!

A smattering of sample topics: tipping; political zealots of all persuasion; dog owners; people who just stop at the top of escalators; roadwork signs that haven't been put away; closed-minded people; queueing; people who steal the magic from chidren's eyes; rubbish on the street; surcharges; children on planes; Twitter; wine served too cold; lights left on when no one's in the room PLUS much more. There are even terrific pieces on things Paul loves such as baseball; Las Vegas; nudity; road trips; boats; and knowing he's right.

Penned in a distinctive lyrical style, this collection of poems concerns itself with how the living haunt themselves. Each of the pieces are formed around a vivid image--among them, a child's signature in the dust of an old guitar, the stone plinth where a café once stood, a white balloon, and a chateau, still furnished with the belongings of its vanished owner. With a powerful and haunting voice, the concept of love underscores the commonplace in this moving and memorable collection of verse.

"In this virtuoso collection, Paul Henry, poacher-like, tracks the journeys of the heart through landscape, love and loss. He takes his place as one of the most important Welsh poets now writing." – Carol Ann Duffy "This haunting, elegaic collection, about music, and made of music, leaves a reader's mind full of phrases, in both senses – verbal, and tonal – and exactitudes that catch and lodge in the memory." – Gillian Clarke From the sea of the poet's childhood to the stillness of a canal walked in middle age, The Glass Aisle moves between rage and stillness, past and present, music and silence. In the book's title poem, a telephone engineer repairs a line that crosses a canal to the site of an old workhouse. Tormented by the voices of former "inmates", he unwittingly connects the centuries, setting free the Victorian ghosts of poacher John Moonlight, lone parent Mary Thomas, and a host of others who haunt the poem's present-day walker. Elsewhere in this moving collection, love poems, elegies and familiar coastline "visitors", Brown Helen, Catrin Sands... define a nineteen-sixties childhood; a long poem, 'The Hesitant Song', "orchestrates silence" while playing "the sea's soft pedal" to convey the loss of a mother's songs. Lyrical and humane in its observations, The Glass Aisle is rich in the hallmarks readers have come to admire in Henry's poetry.
