Title: What Is Left Behind
Author: WESTON TOM

If Allen Curnow was the stony and austere godhead of New Zealand literary modernism, then Tom Weston (along with his close contemporary David Howard) are tending to the altar, counting the mala beads, and ensuring the continuation of the elder’s example. It is something of a study, to observe how Weston is able to sustain the seriousness of the task – the poem-as-act-of-sacred-communion – without ever breaking down into didactic sermonising or self-consciousness parody.
