Description

Woodland Echoes by "Woodlander". The writer is conscious of the defects of this little work; he fears that in it law of poetry is broken. What right has any man to make 'laws of poetry,' which should be a free as the flight of a sea-bird? There are false jingles, and some nonsense - the latter intentional. There is little human love-making, and but little human love. A few philosophical thoughts - that perhaps have been said in better style by great writers - may here and there be found; therefore the learned and the fastidious and hypercritical in literature are advised not to take up the volume. From the preface of this small book of poems about the Greater Otago area written by the one time headmaster of the Owaka School in South Otago New Zealand. This fragile little book was first published in 1906 by the Dunedin News Paper The Evening Star.
