Hardcover. Condition: Good. 63 pages. dj chipped and worn.You Will Know When You Get There will be seen to possess a unity of mood and purpose, but Curnow has not called it a 'sequence' - perhaps wishing to leave th ese poems distinct and the unity to take care of itself. The book includes two l ong poems, each arising from a deepened sense of human fate, sustained by irony and wit. In one of these he finds a 'fellow being' in the career and times of th e historical Dr Rayner, of Auckland; the other enacts a funeral rite, the moveme nts of a dance in which life and death, fable and fact, are the partners. Shorte r poems, no less than the long ones, reveal an unslackened attention to his worl d and to the possibilities of poetic form. The New Zealand perspectives are as u nmistakable as ever, yet everything here is precisely and purposefully charted - a beach at Karekare or in Sicily, an embassy party in Washington, a windy autum n in Auckland or a wet summer in Paris. Readers of a widely admired poet welcome this testimony to the force of his mind and the resources of his art. Seller Inventory # 330k
