Samuel Perpetland Hunt (born 4 July 1946, Castor Bay, New Zealand) is a New Zealand poet best known for his public readings of poetry, not only his own poems but also the poems of many other poets.
He has been referred to as New Zealand's most popular poet.
Education
Hunt was educated at St Peter's College, Auckland, where he attended from 1958 to 1963. The Christian Brothers' authoritarianism chafed Hunt St Peter's Hunt. He would later recall an incident in which he was strapped for reading a poem by James K. Baxter that had sexual references in the classroom. He was 14 years old at the time.
He had a pronounced stutter and an original style of clothing and deportment that didn't help. He reflected on his individuality and the pressures of adolescence in poems. In the St Peter's College annual magazines, several of his poems were published. However, Hunt was good at certain sports (running and diving) and had academic success. He has said that at the end of his sixth form year (he was 16), the school's headmaster told him that he was not expected to return for the upper sixth form year. Hunt mistook this for an invitation to leave school, which he did. Ken Arvidson, a poet who had obtained University Admission in his last year, had been St Peter's English master in his final year.
"If Mr. Arvidson [did not attend the school], I would not have lived [at St Peter's] as long as I did," Hunt said, and I'd just turned sixteen when I left. "I was introduced to poets like Gordon Challis, who I've been loving ever since." At St Peter's, Arvidson awarded a poetry award that was previously unknown to Hunt in 1963. Brother Lynch, a poem about a St Peter's College instructor who was sympathetic to the young Hunt, was one of Hunt's most popular poems. After Hunt, St Peter's College's annual literature competition has been named, and its judge has served as its judge.
Hunt lived a restless wandering life in New Zealand, particularly in Auckland and Wellington, where both cities attended university. He went from teachers college and taught briefly in a secondary school before deciding to dedicate himself to poetry writing in the late 1960s.
