Collected Poems
Paperback Edition: 1
To Ruth Dallas, words are as much a part of the natural world as are beech trees, seashells and mountains. It is no accident, therefore, that much of her work should be rooted in the New Zealand landscape, reflecting its rhythms, seasons, its benevolence and its harshness, and its effect on men and women.
But her interests ranged beyond the land and the history of its settlement, as much of her work was influenced by her response to Chinese poetry and thought. Always, though, there has been an emphasis on the musical qualities of poetry: this aspect, more than any other, established Ruth Dallas as one of New Zealand's most distinguished and best-loved poets.
