New Poetic by Ck Stead

Reading T. S. Eliot and reading about T. S. Eliot were equally formative experiences for my generation. One of the books about him which greatly appealed to me when I first read it ...was The New Poetic by the New Zealand poet and critic, C. K. Stead...' Seamus Heaney, The Government of the Tongue (1986)
