The third posthumous collection of poems by Kendrick Smithyman (1922-1995), to be published after the critically acclaimed Atua Wera (1998), which was a finalist in the Montana New Zealand Book Awards and the limited edition, Last Poems, (2002). Dating from the 1980s the poems in Imperial Vistas are vignettes of Smithyman’s forebears, rich in anecdote and hearsay. The poet covers a whole era of New Zealand’s past through his family history and memories of such historic events as the Boer War and the Depression.
