That Derrida Whom I Derided Died - C.K. Stead
Praise for The Yellow Buoy:
‘It is a book full-bodied in its embrace of life, and the presence of the dying or dead underscores the strength of that embrace. Understood as a sustained reflection on the approach of death, The Yellow Buoy is the most moving and most satisfying of all Stead’s books of poetry.’ – Michael Hulse, New Zealand Books
Praise for South-West of Eden:
‘… a work of literature in its own right, revealing the author’s mastery of yet another mode, the literary memoir.’ – Lawrence Jones, Otago Daily Times
‘[A] wonderful evocation of his childhood years in an Auckland in some ways barely recognisable today … suffused with the honesty, the insights and the narrative skills we have come to expect and hugely enjoy from Stead.’ – Garry Sheeran, The Independent
Praise for Collected Poems:
‘This ancient poetic theme – how to live in order to live beyond life – runs throughout this massive book, unifying the staggering profusion of forms and contents and linguistic registers.’ – Justin Clemens, The Australian

I am grateful for constant kind attention during my period as laureate from Chris Szekely, chief librarian, and Peter Ireland, at the Alexander Turnbull Library; to the Matahiwi marae for the welcome I and my whanau received there, and to their carver, Jacob
