BERNARD KEARNS, who wrote this article, produced Allen Curnow’s play, “The Axe,” for radio. Today he will be the narrator in the arts festival performance of Douglas Lilburn’s setting of Curnow’s poem, “Landfall in Unknown Seas.”
Of his part as narrator, he says: "Curnow gives a player wonderful lines to say. Their rhythms and changes of attack are stimulating to work with and the verse is always dramatic and in character.
Of this article, he says: “I am no critic of verse. But in working upon ‘The Axe* and 'Landfall* these are the things I think I see.”
