NZ Poetry | Secondhand | Rare or Scarce

Secondhand. Among the materials transferred from the Griffin Press to the University was a gallery of Linotype consisting of the text of a poem by Robin Hyde set in 1935 for a pamphlet that was never issued. A search by Dr Michele Leggott of the English Department at the University of Auckland among the Hyde papers in the various collections found ten different versions of the poem, of which just seven were 'authorised', that is, were in Hyde's own manuscript or typescript. This edition reproduces all seven authorised texts, plus the Griffin Press Linotype, with an essay by Michele Leggott.  Limited edition of 100 copies of which this is no. 76.

Various iterations of Robin Hyde's poem The Victory Hymn, compared and with an essay by Michele Leggott.  Limited edition of 100 copies of which this is no. 76.
