Dr. Glenn Colquhoun, born in Papakura, Auckland in 1964, is a New Zealand poet and general practitioner. ==Life== He practices medicine on the Kapiti Coast. He lives in Waikawa Beach with his young daughter Olive. Colquhoun's first book of poems, ''The Art of Walking Upright'', was published in 1999. It has been said the book is a love letter to the people of Te Tii, the Northland town where he was living at that time. ''An Explanation of Poetry to My Father'' was published and written in 2001. Written in the middle of his work on ''Playing God'', the book was a distraction for Colquhoun from that work. The poems are an explanation of why the son of a builder would go and write poetry. ''Playing God'', Colquhuoun’s third book, was published in 2002 to critical acclaim and popular support. It has sold over 10,000 copies in New Zealand and in 2007 was published in the UK. ''How We Fell'' (2006) is a collection of love poems written to Colquhoun’s ex-wife. It is the candid story of a ten-year relationship. ''North South'' (illustrated by Nigel Brown, 2009), is a sequence of poems entwining aspects of Irish mythology with aspects of Maori mythology. In 2010 Glenn was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to research medical storytelling programmes.〔http://www.fulbright.org.nz/grantees-alumni/alumni/nzscholar/〕 In October 2012 he wanted to participate in the Transit of Venus poetry exchange at the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany.〔http://www.nzatfrankfurt.govt.nz/events/transit-venus-poetry-exchange〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glenn Colquhoun」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
