"The New Zealand Literary Fund was a small amount of public money skilfully dispensed
over forty years to hundreds of writers and publishers. Unobtrusively but persistently,
the fund and the dedicated men and women who allotted its largesse laid the foundations
of the literary culture we enjoy today. From a small gesture of government patronage
in the postwar world, it slowly grew, expanding its reach, enlarging its ambitions
and acquiring partners. This is its story. The Deepening Stream features strong personalities,
from poets to politicians, and their dramas and disappointments, hopes and humiliations.
It charts the growing confidence of New Zealand writers and the infrastructure supporting
them, and gives vivid pictures of individual writers, fledgling publishers and struggling
magazines. It recounts how New Zealand readers gradually came to value their own literature"--Publisher
