520    "Every morning for the last thirty years, C. K. Stead has 
       written fiction and poetry. Shelf Life collects the best 
       of his afternoon work: reviews and essays, letters and 
       diaries, lectures and opinion pieces. In this latest 
       collection, a sequel to the successful Answering to the 
       Language, The Writer at Work, and Book Self, Stead takes 
       the reader through nine essays in 'the Mansfield file', 
       collects works of criticism and review in 'book talk', 
       writes in the 'first person' about everything from David 
       Bain to Parnell, and finally offers some recent 
       reflections on poetic laurels from his time as New Zealand
       poet laureate. Throughout, this is vintage Stead: clear, 
       direct, intelligent, decisive, personal"--Publisher
