Autorenporträt
James K. Baxter, one of New Zealand's finest poets and most controversial figures, was a dramatist, literary critic, and social commentator intimately involved in the social process. Known for his barefoot and bearded appearance, he was often at odds with a society unable to face its disturbing reflection in his work. He died in 1972. John Weir is a Catholic priest and was a close friend of James Baxter.
