NEW ZEALAND POEMS
Again C. A. Marris has mado his choice"of the best New Zealand poems and tho .1939 collection is quite up to the standard of previous publications. The forty odd pages present some delightfully varied reading. There is the wanderlust and roaming spirit of Robin Hyde in her journey; the sombre shades of Douglas Stewart's sunset; Barbara Dent's wild wet "I'ain"; the neat and effective endings to Dora Hagemcyer's flashes of imagery; tho lovely langtiidness of "Sailing," by Helen Brookfield; tho sweet antiquity of Elsa Mary Bosworth's "Old Roman Road," and the passionate prayer to Earth from the pen of Una Craig—to mention but a few of the poetic, gems included in this excellent anthology. "New Zealand T-Jcst Poems of 1039," selected by C. A. Marris. (Harry 1:1. Tombs, Ltd.)
