Paperback. Condizione: New. "He has been a major voice at every stage of his career", wrote C.K. Stead in the "London Review of Books", "knowing what he is about, moving at his own pace, inventive, unpredictable.". In "The Bells of Saint Babel's" Allen Curnow, now in his nineties, is unique in English-language poetry not only in the length of his innings but in the vigour of his most recent work. "The Bells of Saint Babel's", his first book for four years, revisits places and considers life's ironies, the chances and accidents that lead to "here". There are narrative sequences, a sonnet, four free translations from Pushkin, and poems of lyric reflection. All are marked by Curnow's close attention to visual detail, his lovingly severe interest in the landscape and history of his own country, and his formal fluency and variety.

Aggiungi al carrellopaperback. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. First published by the Pegasus Press in 1962 and reissued by VUP in 1990, this is the definitive collection of the poems of R.A.K. Mason.Mason has long been recognised as a poet of rare originality and distinction in New Zealand.R.A.K. Mason is the poet we think of as being the first genuinely New Zealand Poet. He is certainly the first New Zealand poet I read with enthusiasm. Bill ManhireAllen Curnow was a journalist, poet, and university professor. He is widely regarded one of the defining and influential voices of 20th-century New Zealand literature. Poet, wit and controversialist, A.R.D. Fairburn was one of the best-known New Zealanders of his time. The poet Allen Curnow said in 1947: More than any other New Zealand poet, Mr Fairburn has value for what he is, as much as for what he writes.
