Description

An Anthology of New Zealand Verse. Selected by Robert Chapman and Jonathan Bennett. In this anthology the 275 selections from nearly fifty poets survey the development of New Zealand poetry from its beginning a century or more ago. The greater part of the volume consists of work published since the upsurge of New Zealand poetry in the late nineteen-twenties and thirties, but the inclusion of poems by Alfred Domett, Jessie MacKay, William Pember Reeves, Hubert Church and other pioneers gives a particular interest to the anthology as the first to trace the evolution and definition of a New Zealand idiom in poetry. The book has light staining around the edges but remains tight and bright.
