James Baxter Knihy
James Keir Baxter bol básnik a je oslavovanou postavou novozélandskej spoločnosti. Jeho tvorba čerpala z vplyvov Dylana Thomasa a Yeatsea, neskôr z MacNeicea a Lowella. Kritická štúdia Michaela Schmidta definuje Baxterovu „jakobínsku konsonantickú rétoriku“ a označuje ho za „jedného z najprednejších básnikov storočia“, ktorého prehliadanie mimo Nový Zéland je mätúce. Schmidt v jeho diele identifikuje „amalgám Hopkinse, Thomasa a rodových atavizmov“.
