This third and final volume of Charles Brasch’s compelling private journals covers the years from when he was 48 to his death at 64. By the 1960s, Brasch, though very private by temperament, was a reluctant public figure, especially as editor of Landfall – indisputably the country’s leading cultural quarterly (he eventually quit as editor after 20 years). He was also becoming a highly regarded poet, with eventually six books (one posthumous) to his name. Behind the scenes Brasch was increasingly important as an art collector and as patron and benefactor; the Burns, Hodgkins and Mozart Fellowships – for writers, artists and composers respectively – which he helped anonymously to found and fund, all began in this period. Among his friends Brasch counted most of the country’s leading artists, writers and intellectuals including Sargeson, McCahon, McCormick, Stead, the Pauls, the Woollastons, the Baxters, Lilburn, Beaglehole, Angus, Oliver, Bensemann, Lusk, Frame and Dallas. These near contemporaries were joined by the talented young, many met as contributors to Landfall – including Gee, Cross, Shadbolt, Duggan, O’Sullivan, Hotere, Tuwhare, Caselberg, Middleton and Manhire. Brasch’s lively and sometimes acerbic accounts of such people are a fascinating aspect of his journals. Behind the esteemed poet, editor and public intellectual, however, was a sensitive and often angst-ridden man, who confided to his journals (and poems) the emotional roller-coas

Love the design and shape - Customer Service Amazing
Color: Black with Lid
UPDATED READ BELOW: Initial review: I think this is a great product, at a great price. Unfortunately, the wireless charger mine came with doesn’t work. It’ll charge for a few seconds, shut off, start charging, immediately shut back off - repeating this cycle. I’ve used the included cable, and two other cables as well as different outlets. Unfortunately, I threw out the box before checking this so can’t return to replace it…ugh Updated approx 3 weeks later: Seller reached out and sent me a replacement charger at no cost, it works perfectly so far (even though it has been a day lol) but no issues, no complaints here. Love this organizer - feels premium. Definitely recommend

Great organizer but will only charge a phone
Color: Black with Lid
My husband likes all the compartments. The only negative is that it doesn’t charge multiple items like AirPods or tablets. It is a very sturdy design and looks like it would organize things on a drop and go table.

Feels like it wouldn’t last very long.
Color: Black with Lid
Bottom line, most things just aren’t made with quality in mind anymore.
