Life and career


Cochrane was born in Wellington in 1951 and attended St Patrick's College.[1]

His first five poetry collections were published by private presses, beginning with Images of Midnight City in 1976.[2] In 1992 a collection of poems from these earlier collections, plus 27 new poems, was published as Aztec Noon by Victoria University Press.[2]

His novel Tin Nimbus was a regional finalist in the 1996 Commonwealth Writers' Prize for best first book.[3] It is about an alcoholic's experiences with institutions,[2] reflecting Cochrane's personal experiences with alcoholism.[4] Alcoholism is often reflected in his other work, as well as his experiences living in Wellington.[4]

In 2009 he was awarded the Janet Frame Prize for Poetry.[4][3] In eight out of the twelve years from 2003 to 2014 his poems were selected for the online anthology Best New Zealand Poems.[3][5]

In 2014 he was made an Arts Foundation of New Zealand Laureate as one of New Zealand's "most outstanding practising artists".[6]
