New Selected PoemsThis collection of work by one of New Zealand's great writers is in two parts: a selection of poems (and some prose) from books published in Baxter's lifetime; and a range of posthumously published, published but uncollected, and unpublished poems. Biographical information places the poems in their historical context; a glossary of Maori words and phrases is included. |
