One poet I admire is James K. Baxter, because this New Zealand poet deals with the issues of the society he lived in, using various techniques to reiterate these themes. Baxter published more than 30 books of poetry before his death in 1972, and he opposed Western materialism, and advocated social change and the spiritual values Catholic faith and Maori culture. These views are prominent in two of Baxter’s poems, He Waiata mo Te Kare and The Ballad of Calvary Street. ...
One important theme that Baxter dealt with during the 1950’s and 1960’s was the façade of the New Zealand middle-class. ... Baxter extensively uses religious references to emphasise the barren lives of the old couple.
