Rex Fairburn - Walking on My Feet - A Kind of Autobiography

Collins, Auckland, 1983. In tidy condition with DW>
This is an informal, unorthodox and highly diverting biography of the major New Zealand poet, wit and social commentator, Rex Fairburn (1904-57).

James and Helen McNeish have crafted a lively portrait of this tall and exuberant Aucklander through the careful but inspired juxtaposition of oral, visual and written material. Their aim has been to uncover for a new generation of admirers not just the poet but the whole man.
