Description: "[Robin Hyde] was 33 when she died, ending fifteen years of massive production as a poet, novelist, journalist and historical biographer. Her autrobiographical writing has long been acclaimed ... and the scope of her social and political commentary is becoming clearer as work is reprinted or published for the first time. But the extent of her poetic achievement has never been appreciated because there has been no full collection of her poems by which to measure it. [This] is a chronological presentation of Hyde's poems in five sections.. derived from the 500-plus poems in her literary papers and designed to show a poetic intelligence that ranges freely between sharp observatioon, virtuoso lyricism and prophetic vision. ..."--Book flap.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 391-394) and index.
