Description
This book is in very good condition and includes a note to a previous owner by the author which is signed. Very minor fade to D/J spine which is hardly noticeable.
As the review says:
James K. Baxter (1926-1972) is widely considered to be the greatest poet New Zealand has produced. He was a man of contradictions. A poet who spent much of his time exercising concern for society's outcasts; a man with intense loyalty to his country who frequently condemned its institutions; a devout convert to Roman Catholicism whose life did not follow many of the usual practices of the church.
But whether he is remembered as the charismatic figure who founded a community for troubled young people in the predominantly Maori village of Jerusalem, or as the prodigiously gifted poet, he is certain to be recognized as a man whose life and ideas were central to the New Zealand experience.
