However, the town also has an interesting history, ably related in this nicely illustrated history. After tracing the historic association of the Maori people to the district, Kingsley-Smith follows the European influence there, beginning in the 1830s when the first misionaries visited the area, travelling up the Waihou River from Thames. The river was the main transport artery to the settlement and district, before the arrival of rail and adequate roading. Like many early New Zealand settlements, Te Aroha experienced the goldfields impact, with prospecting and mining beginning in early 1880, but by the the turn of the century the 'rush' was over and subsequent revivals were short-lived. The author follows developments covering community and civic aspects as well as those of business and commerce, education, cultural, recreational and religious organizations and prominant personalities.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. The sole UK printing published by the Poem of the Month Club between 1970 -1977. A complete portfolio of the 48 Broadsheets published by The Poem of the Month Club (POMC) between 1970-1977. Folio size broadsheets which are in near Fine condition. Each poem has been signed by the author and in the case of John Betjeman's poem there is the usual hand written emendations. Poets represented include Kingsley Amis, W.H. Auden, John Betjeman, Robert Graves, Thom Gunn, Seamus Heaney, Stevie Smith, Philip Larkin, Kathleen Raine, Stephen Spender, C.Day Lewis et al. The broadsheets are housed within the publisher's original portfolio, secured with silk ties to the leading edge, printed and lettered in black to the front panel. The portfolio is in excellent condition for its age. It has two light water stains (one being to the spine and another to the top right hand corner), and has a little wear to the spine end and corners. Extremely rare to find the folder in such collectible condition. The business model for POMC was through subscription only, with around 500 signed up members receiving a new broadside once a month. Initially, folders were not issued. The previous owner of this particular portfolio, after receiving his first poem in April 1970 (this being 'Francesca in Winter' by Stevie Smith), wrote to the directors and suggested a specially made binder for them. The POMC secretary Mrs Stein wrote back promptly, dated 23 April 1970, only a couple of weeks after the first poem landed, stating that she had passed on the previous owner's comments to the directors for their consideration. The Directors clearly felt a binder was a solid suggestion and at a later stage, subscribers were able to buy them. The POMC flyer stated that the folders were virtually handmade - from natural leather spines and corners, buff paper hard covers with the covers secured by ties. One of the promotional flyers has had the application form cut out, presumably so the owner could obtain the folder in question. The portfolio is accompanied by numerous loosely inserted 'Poem of the Month' newsletters which include poet biographies and background information to the poems. Founded in 1970 by Jack H. Clark and Winston Fletcher, the Poem of the Month Club sought to publish new work by leading poets, which was to be signed by the authors and presented on high-quality materials suitable for display. Roy Fuller and C. Day Lewis acted as recruiters for the enterprise and were also contributors themselves. The print run for each poem was 500 - 1000 copies. Given every copy had to be signed by the poets concerned, there were frequent delays in getting the poems out to subscribers, and many of the publisher's apologetic letters to subscribers are included here among the newsletters. The Club folded in 1977, but not before publishing new work from most of the leading poets of the day. Increasingly scarce to find these signed broadsheets as a complete collection, more-so housed within the original publisher's portfolio, with most sets having been broken up and the broadsheets sold separately. This set is particularly impressive because it has only previously been owned by the original subscriber, who has kept all the ephemera he received over the years, including the letter he received about his suggestion for a folder.

A complete set of the 48 signed broadside poems as issued, contained in an unusually fresh example of the half pig skin folder with ties. The poems vary slightly in size but are printed on fine quality paper, generally about 28x38 cm and were intended for framing. One poem by Seamus Heaney, Land, has been professionally mounted in a card surround. Individually issued as the 'poem of the month' between 1970-1974 and again in 1977, each broadside is signed by the author and the poems are in fine condition. Around a dozen A4 size introductory and biographical sheets and lists which were issued by the club to accompany some of the poems are laid in. The large portfolio is in very good condition with a little rubbing to extremities. The Poem of the Month Club was founded in 1970 by Jack H. Clark and Winston Fletcher with a mission to publish a 'substantial and characteristic' original poem by a leading British poet. Among the poets published by the club were W.H. Auden, Robert Graves, Seamus Heaney, Philip Larkin, Cecil Day-Lewis, John Betjeman and Stevie Smith. Roy Fuller and the poet laureate Cecil Day-Lewis advised the club and helped to solicit and select poems for publication with a stellar cast of contributors for the first two folios. The club eventually fell victim to declining interest and the increased difficulty in finding new material. The collection comprises: (Folio 1) Francesca in Winter / Stevie Smith -- Going my way? / C. Day Lewis -- The explosion / Roy Fuller -- Art student / Stephen Spender -- Advice from a mother / Robert Graves -- At Dunkeswell Abbey / Anthony Thwaite -- Annotations of Giant's Town / John Fuller -- Hurt / 2 x Elizabeth Jennings -- What is mercy and a voice / George Barker -- Midnights / Norman MacCaig -- Epigrams by Martial / Peter Porter.
