The Red Tram

Stead, C.K.

This fine collection by one of New Zealand’s best writers includes some Auckland poems, some moving memories of childhood, poems about horses and cows, even one about his own legs. There are his usual satirical poems taking weapons from the writers of the past and skewering the politicians of the present. Stead continues to reflect on Allen Curnow, as well as Janet Frame, Denis Glover and a range of overseas writers. All these poems have energy, speed, humour and force.
