For fans of the late Kendrick Smithyman


Fans of the late Kendrick Smithyman might like to note a new long essay on his landscape poetry by Ian Richards, ‘Kendrick Smithyman’s Shifting Landscapes’, with detailed commentaries on ‘Waikato Railstop’, ‘Colville’, ‘Tomarata’, ‘Reading the Maps’ and ‘Deconstructing’.  The essay should help shed some new light on some of Smithyman’s often difficult and obscure poems.
