Incognito is a first, rather engaging, collection by a Nelson poet whose work has already appeared in many literary journals and general magazines such as North & South and the Listener. It is well organized into six sections. The book's dedication reads 'for my father', and a lot of the poems are about family members, friends and domestic situations. Many have rural or seashore settings and many see life from the perspective of a child. Le Bas writes in a relaxed way with an intimate and affectionate tone.
