HeadworX republishes forgotten Canterbury poet

Monday, November 11, 2013 by Mark Pirie

My publishing company HeadworX in Association with Earl of Seacliff Art Workshop has just released a new edition of early New Zealand poet A. Stanley Sherratt's Maori myths/legends, Polynesian Legends. The edition includes a substantial introduction by Dr Michael O'Leary and comment by Vaughan Rapatahana.

A. Stanley Sherratt (b. 1891) is a Canterbury poet of interest for his early sequence of poems on Maori myths/legends that were ground-breaking for his time period (the 1920s) and still make for powerful reading today.
