The document discusses Allen Curnow's poem "Continuum" and provides questions for analysis of the poem's themes, title, literary devices, and Curnow's impact on New Zealand literature. Specifically, it asks about the meaning of the term "continuum" in the title, how Curnow viewed poems as "rash acts", and C.K. Stead's view that Curnow was the first to truly capture New Zealand in the English language. It also prompts analysis of irony, personification, tone, metaphors, enjambment, and the meaning of the final stanza.
