One of the most accomplished poets died on the 22nd of October 1972.
He died in Auckland at the age of 46 soon after leaving the commune he had founded in Jerusalem several years before. He was buried on the 25 of October on tribal land after a full Maori tangihanga in Jerusalem.
Most of his time was spent looking after Drug dealers and alcoholics.
