This collection has been compiled to enable readers to study the work of a few poets in depth, thus giving them the opportunity, seldom available in collections of verse, to appreciate a poet's individual gifts and his idiosyncracies. Because it is a collection of modern New Zealand poetry it is likely to have more immediate relevance for many readers in New Zealand and the Pacific than collections of the work of overseas poets. As Keving Ireland remarks: not all poets are (a) foreign and (b) dead.
