  • Ka Mate Ka Ora: a New Zealand Journal of Poetry and Poetics
    ka mate ka ora: a new zealand journal of poetry and poetics Issue 4 September 2007 Poetry at Auckland University Press Elizabeth Caffin Weathers on this shore want sorts of words. (Kendrick Smithyman, ‘Site’) Auckland University Press might never have been a publisher of poetry were it not for Kendrick Smithyman. It was his decision. As Dennis McEldowney recalls, a letter from Smithyman on 31 March 1967 offering the manuscript of Flying to Palmerston, pointed out that ‘it is to the university presses the responsibility is falling for publishing poetry. Pigheaded and inclined to the parish pump, I would rather have it appear in New Zealand if it appears anywhere’.1 Dennis, who became Editor of University Publications in 1966 and in the next two decades created a small but perfectly formed university press, claimed he lacked confidence in judging poetry. But Kendrick and C. K. Stead, poets and academics both, became his advisors and he very quickly established an impressive list. At its core were the great New Zealand modernist poets. Dennis published five books by Smithyman, three by Stead and three by Curnow starting with the marvellous An Incorrigible Music in 1979.2 Curnow and Smithyman were not young and had published extensively elsewhere but most would agree that their greatest work was written in their later years; and AUP published it. Soon a further group of established poets was added: three books by Elizabeth Smither, one by Albert Wendt, one by Kevin Ireland. And then a new generation, the exuberant poets of the 1960s and 1970s such as Ian Wedde (four books), Bill Manhire, Bob Orr, Keri Hulme, Graham Lindsay, Michael Harlow.

  • Simon Lusk's Plan
    CHAPTER 5 SIMON LUSK’S PLAN Simon Lusk had been watching US Republican politics for years and looking for ideas that were applicable to New Zealand. Gradually he put together a plan to move the country’s politics to the right. He laid this out in conver- sations with his close political allies and in a three-page strategy paper that was never intended to be made public. The plan was practical and methodical. The idea was to target candidate selection processes in safe National seats, installing a rump of hard right candi- dates who would influence politics for many years to come. Suitable candidates could also be found and trained for local government elections. At the same time, a pool of younger people would be identified, cultivated and guided into right-wing politics. Each of these groups would be managed and supported by professional strategy advisers, notably Lusk himself. Such figures were familiar in US politics but not in New Zealand. Lusk was also well aware, from his American observations, that the single greatest advantage of right-wing parties and candidates was their ability to greatly outspend their opponents with support from wealthy and corporate donors. Fundraising was central to the plan. Next, the right could dominate the media by the dominance of right-wing blogs: ‘the right currently controls the blogosphere,’ he wrote, ‘and political journalists repeat much of what appears on blogs.’ The blogs were part of the second track of politics available for ‘black ops’ and nega- tive campaigning. Finally, his plan involved ‘weakening the power of those who believe in big government’, meaning deliberate strategies and tactics to margin- alise anyone, even within the National Party itself, who did not hold hard right views.

  • 1 90Th Anniversary Toast to the Auld Rock & the Shetland Society Of
    90th Anniversary Toast to The Auld Rock & The Shetland Society of Wellington President Andrew, members of the Shetland Society of Wellington Management Committee, Ladies and Gentlemen, good evening: First of all, to the Management Committee thank you for according me the privilege of proposing a toast to The Auld Rock and the Shetland Society of Wellington. It's an honour that I accepted with some reluctance, as I knew that Rose and I would only be returning from overseas three nights before tonight’s celebration. I trust you’ll forgive me if I seem a little jet-lagged. However, as your Past President, I'll be very mindful of the words of a previous Past President, my older sister Mary, who always gave me the same piece of advice – and it didn't matter what the occasion was - Mary would always say “now, dunna spaek ower lang”! Now that didn’t do anything to help my nerves, but nevertheless I'll do as I always did Mary, “an joost do as I’m been telt!” It's a great cause for celebration when anyone, or any organisation for that matter, reaches their 90th birthday. But we are not celebrating our 90th birthday tonight, but the 90th Anniversary of our incorporation – and there is a great difference. We know that the society did not suddenly come into being overnight, but grew as early Shetland emigrants wanted to offer new arrivals from “the Auld Rock” their friendship, as well as assistance and support as they settled into their new country. We know that as far back as 1906 visiting Shetlanders could find a welcome in various homes in Wellington.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Exhibition “Double Take – the Asia Photographs of Brian Brake and Steve Mccurry”
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Exhibition “Double Take – The Asia Photographs of Brian Brake and Steve McCurry” Travels with Asia Society Hong Kong Center to Shanghai (Hong Kong, June 29, 2018) – Asia Society Hong Kong Center (ASHK) today announced the successful launch of Double Take – The Asia Photographs of Brian Brake and Steve McCurry in Shanghai, China. The exhibition is co-organized by ASHK and Shanghai Center of Photography (SCoP), with Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (Te Papa) as Exhibition Partner, and represents the third leg in its journey to major Asian art centers. ASHK first partnered with Te Papa in 2016 to stage the exhibition as Picturing Asia: Double Take at its Chantal Miller Gallery; in 2017, The Auckland Art Festival joined as co-organizer to take the exhibition to New Zealand. The current exhibition in Shanghai opened on June 16, 2018 and met with strong interest from the local media and art and photography aficionados. “We are very proud of our enduring partnership with Te Papa to take Double Take on its journey around Asia, and we are grateful for the support of SCoP to present this exhibition to a new audience in Shanghai. Picturing Asia: Double Take was one of our most successful contemporary art exhibitions and we are confident it will enjoy equal popularity in Shanghai,” said S. Alice Mong, Executive Director of Asia Society Hong Kong Center. “Double Take sheds light on Brake and McCurry’s common passion in capturing the many facets of Asia. Through their lenses, Brian Brake and Steve McCurry have brought Asia’s cultural richness to the eyes of global audiences.
