A compilation by one of New Zealand's most distinguished poets. Dallas was born in 1919 in Invercargill. Her concerns include the landscape and its effects on people, and Chinese and Buddhist thought. Includes the previously published 'Country Road' (1953), 'Day Book' (1966), 'Shadow Show' (1968), 'Walking on the Snow' (1976), 'Steps of the Sun' (1979) and 15 recent poems.
Award winning poet and children's author Ruth Dallas recounts her remarkable life with insight and assurance.
Twelve short stories by one of New Zealand's best-loved poets are collected here. Set in the south, they are spare pieces of prose, showing an eye for detail and for the ironies of life.
These poems form a series of meditations - on a Dutch painting, a waterfall, an ancient Chinese jar, those who died in wars, a cactus on the windowsill - and each piece is imbued with the poet's awareness of the incorrigible fragility of life.
