"The Collected Poems of Alistair Te Ariki Campbell is the definitive edition of one of the most important bodies of work in New Zealand poetry. Based on a spiral-bound manuscript entitled 'Complete Poems 1947-2007' found among Campbell's papers after his death, this is his most substantial collection to date ... Six thematic sections map the work: 1. Of Wild Places - celebrated early lyrics set among rugged South Island and Kapiti Coast landscapes; 2. Tongareva to Aotearoa - Campbell's ground-breaking turn to his Polynesian side; 3. Love Poems; 4. War Poems - powerful sequences exploring his father's Gallipoli experiences and the story of the Maori Battalion; 5. Poets in Our Youth - autobiographical poems in letter form; and 6. Looking at Kapiti - poems of everyday life in Pukerua Bay"--Provided by publisher.
