"This book records the friendship and artistic collaboration between New Zealand's pre-eminent painter, Colin McCahon (1919-87) and the poet John Caselberg (born 1927). Over several decades McCahon and Caselberg collaborated on a succession of remarkable works which brought together words and images in a unique fusion. Caselberg supplied text for McCahon's paintings, drawings and lithographs, while McCahon provided images for Caselberg's poems, plays and books, each becoming for the other a crucial vehicle of communication and response." - from the rear wrapper blurb.
