THREE LANDSCAPES
Sir.-So once more in your correspondence columns New Zealand poetry is rearing its ugly head. Our poets seem to be the storm centre of our national literary life, and all the backscratching and face-scratching that goes on amongst them makes it hard for the uninitiated to know what to enjoy or otherwise. "Nature Lover" evidently finds it otherwise, and has not only the courage of his opinions, but a sufficiently complicated command of diction to give them expression. Encouraged by his firm stand I fall in line behind him and say, give us poetry, give us modern poetry, give us more and more of it, but for Heaven's sake don’t give us the sort you get in The Listener.
