Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria University College, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 20, No. 4. April 18, 1957

Fallen Giant

Fallen Giant

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.
