Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Allen Curnow (1911-2001) is widely recognised as one of the most distinguished poets writing in English in the twentieth century. For seventy years from Valley of Decision (1933) to The Bells of Saint Babel's (2001) Curnow's poetry was always on the move, exploring such universal themes as identity, memory and mortality and striving to 'make it new'. Through literary criticism and anthologies such as the Penguin Book of New Zealand Verse he helped identify the distinctive imaginative preoccupations that made New Zealand's writing and culture different from elsewhere. By the time of his death at the age of ninety, he had completed a body of work unique in this country and increasingly recognised internationally. This major biography introduces readers to Allen Curnow's life and work: from a childhood in a Christchurch vicarage, through theological training, journalism and university life, marriages and children, and on to an international career as a writer of poetry, plays and criticism. The book lucidly identifies the shifting textures of Curnow's writing and unravels the connections between life and words. The result of several decades' research and writing, Simply by Sailing in a New Direction offers deep insight into the development of New Zealand's finest poet -- book jacket. Dj, heavy. 732 pages.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Allen Curnow (1911-2001) was at the time of his death regarded as one of the greatest of all poets writing in English. For seventy years, from Valley of Decision (1933) to The Bells of Saint Babel's (2001), Curnow's poetry was always on the move - from his early approaches to New Zealand identity and myth to later work concerned with the philosophical encounter between word and world. Curnow also played a major role in New Zealand life as editor, critic, commentator and anthologist, as well as a much-loved writer of light verse under the penname of Whim Wham.
