Summary

"The publication of Baxter's Collected Poems in 1980 was a landmark in New Zealand literature. This reissue includes all poems from collections and broadsheets and some fifty poems selected from manuscript sources by the editor. The texts presented are intended to be definitive; they are carefully edited, with brief textual notes where necessary, and arranged in chronological order of composition. Publication date for each poem is given, along with a full bibliography of Baxter's verse. A glossary of Maori words and phrases helps readers unfamiliar with that language."--BOOK JACKET.
