Baxter (1926-1972) was full of contradictions: a poet who spent much of his time exercising a concern f or society's outcasts; a man with intense loyalty to his country who frequently condemned its institutions; a devout convert to Roman Catholicism whose life did not follow many of the usual practices of the church.
