This little beauty is a comprehensive bibliography of all Fairburns work between 1904 and his death in 1957.
Fairburn published his first poem in 1927 with his early creative years shaped by time in London, before returning to Auckland in 1932. Over his lifetime he was a prodigious writer of both essays and poems. His critical writing was usually clear and intelligent, his prose in essays, journalism and letters effortless and elegant. Notable among many pieces are 'Some aspects of New Zealand art and letters' (1934), 'We New Zealanders' (1944) and 'What life means to me'. He was a witty, though at times gauche, satirist in both verse and prose. Best known are 'The sky is a limpet' (1939), his Joycean parody of Michael Joseph Savage, and The 'rakehelly man' (1946).
