New Zealand poet Allen Curnow, described by Peter Porter as
`this modern master', collects here for the first time the poems he has written since 1989, together with the greater part of the poetry of the half century preceding.
`He has been a major voice at every stage of his career . . . knowing what he is about, moving at his own pace, inventive, unpredictable, writing poetry which strikes me, as it has done serially over the years, as unsurpassed by the work of any other poet at present writing in
English,' C.K. Stead wrote in the London Review of Books.
