With the deepest regret "Salient" records the death in Auckland on March 25 of A. R. D. Fairburn, poet, satirist, and critic.
The press notice of his death spread a wave of sorrow throughout New Zealand, for since the 1930's his writing, broadcasting and controversy had made him a presence felt in areas other than the cultural field in which he was a dominant figure.
In our next issue we intend to publish an appreciation of the man and his work.
