Man of Rock is John Irvine's early work and has been celebrated as a few of his best work of poetry within New Zealand in the present day century. His ability to capture feelings, sense, and imagery through brash and sarcastic methods is unequalled to others. John says: "Man of Rock genesis...Although I fiddled with rhyming poetry over time it was only once I came back to NZ in 1996 from a 29-year visit to Australia which i began to write in earnest. This came into being in the traditional manner...love poetry for a lover. Terrible products really. However, it morphed fairly quickly into observational products and I started to obtain a "feeling" for what I used to be doing. I found a female on the Internet in a writer's group who was residing in Greece, and after a quick trip there to meet up she made a decision to move to NZ. This British ex-pat was the trigger for me...this novelist/article writer and embryonic poet inspired me to use stock of what I was doing and I blossomed at time 60. A few years flashed by and I was submitting globally to online mags and e-zines and on fire."
