Mark Pirie writes on a classic rugby league poem

Friday, September 4, 2015 by Mark Pirie

Recently, I came across a rugby league poem on the famous ground Carlaw Park by a little known New Zealand poet Francis Cloke (1860-1941).

I decided to research the poet further and came across the poet's family connection to the League code in New Zealand.

I made the research into a National Poetry Day 2015 blog.
