Cold Spring: Baxter's Unpublished Early Collection - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

A collection of James K. Baxter's unpublished poetry, this book bridges the gap between his first book, "Beyond the Palisade" (1944) and "Blow Wind of Fruitfulness" (1948). Its 40 poems - chosen from some three hundred which he wrote at the ages of 17 and 18 - cover one of the more turbulent periods of his life. After a series of difficulties with his first publisher, Baxter determined to never break up the collection and excluded these poems from his later books. However, the manuscript was recently discovered among the papers of his war-time friend Noel Ginn, and this volume can now be read for the first time.
