Doubtless - New and Selected Poems

Author(s): Sam Hunt

Poetry

Sam Hunt is New Zealand's best-known poet. For almost 40 years he has been writing, reading and performing poetry, touring New Zealand constantly and reading his poems in pubs, theatres, schools and many other venues. No other poet in New Zealand has managed to make a living by performing their poems, and it says much about the affection with which Sam is regarded in New Zealand that he has continued to do this for so long. It is well over ten years since a new collection of Sam's poems has appeared and over 15 years since a volume of selected poems was published, so the publication of Doubtless is very timely. It includes new work as well a comprehensive selection of his best poems from the last 40 years, all of which are currently unavailable in print. First published August 2008.

Sam Hunt was born in 1946 at Castor Bay, Auckland. As a child, he was surrounded by poetry and performance: his mother, father and grandfather regularly read poems out loud or recited from memory; and his father was a somewhat eccentric barrister who came from a family of actors, troupers and musicians. In 1985 he was awarded a QSM for his contribution to New Zealand literature. He currently lives on the Kaipara Harbour.
