Death of James.K.Baxter

Death of poet James K. Baxter

22 October 1972


Acknowledged as one of New Zealand’s most accomplished poets, Baxter had devoted the last years of his life to social work among alcoholics and drug addicts.

He died in Auckland, aged 46, soon after leaving the commune he had founded several years earlier at Jerusalem (Hiruhārama) on the Whanganui River.


His body was escorted by his family back to Jerusalem. Hundreds of mourners attended a full Māori tangihanga. Following a requiem mass on 25 October, he was buried on tribal land. One year later a boulder inscribed, ‘Hemi / James Keir Baxter /
i whanau 1926 / i mate 1972’, was placed on his grave.

1 Because I worked really hard to help my group and we worked hard without Olivia because she wasn’t there.
2 We had encouragement with the feijoas from Lani we had a bit of trouble getting started but once we did we were in 10th Place we kept stopping at the end.
3 We kept tying the rope around the tarp and at the end, Lani kept hitting his head on the rocks.
4 We stopped at the start for a while to have a breath.

5 When we had our breath we were off on a good start we wanted to run but Lani didn’t want us to.
3. What could you work on next time to improve your involvement in the group for your stretcher making?
I could help come up with a design that would work well as a stretcher. I could help my group by not complaining every 5 mins. I could help my group by not stopping every 5 secs. I could help my group by not talking or eating. I Could help my group by lifting a little higher.
4 - Relational Worked and tried hard throughout the lesson, showing
good, consistent levels of effort
  • Trying my best
