About this book
Chosen by Allen Curnow himself, this collection offers an introduction to the range and development of one of New Zealand's leading poets. His sharply observed landscapes and meditations on history, place and identity move between public questions and intensely personal experience. The selection brings together work from across his career, including poems from Not in Narrow Seas and Island and Time.
