The publication Collected Poems was a landmark in New Zealand literature. James K. Baxter--a social worker among addicts and the homeless--as a Catholic convert finally settled in and wrote about a small Maori settlement called Jerusalem.
This volume includes over 700 poems which have been previously published, and 50 poems remaining in manuscript.

Review

"James K. Baxter is an outstanding figure, one of the major English-language poets of the post-war years."--Times Literary Supplement

"[Baxter's] work presents an engaging tension between futility and gentle optimism....J.E. Weir has carefully edited this interesting pilgrimage with notes and dates of estimated composition and initial publication."--Choice

"A highly significant figure in contemporary literature."--The Times (London)

"J.E. Weir's massive collection of Baxter's verse reminds us that in the last analysis he was a poet...a major figure, a major influence--someone to be reckoned with when totting up the poetic score of this century."--World Literature Today
