James K Baxter's first book, Beyond the Palisade, was originally published in 1944, when he was 18, immediately attracting critical acclaim. These early poems display a variety of poetic forms and feature the sharp, bold imagery so indicative of his later works. They introduce the recurringthemes of regret and loneliness, which were to become the hallmark of Baxter's later work.
