    A Survey of Recent New Zealand Writing TREVOR REEVES O achieve any depth or spread in an article attempt• ing to cover the whole gamut of New Zealand writing * must be deemed to be a New Zealand madman's dream, but I wonder if it would be so difficult for people overseas, particularly in other parts of the Commonwealth. It would appear to them, perhaps, that two or three rather good poets have emerged from these islands. So good, in fact, that their appearance in any anthology of Common• wealth poetry would make for a matter of rather pleasurable comment and would certainly not lower the general stand• ard of the book. I'll come back to these two or three poets presently, but let us first consider the question of New Zealand's prose writers. Ah yes, we have, or had, Kath• erine Mansfield, who died exactly fifty years ago. Her work is legendary — her Collected Stories (Constable) goes from reprint to reprint, and indeed, pirate printings are being shovelled off to the priting mills now that her fifty year copyright protection has run out. But Katherine Mansfield never was a "New Zealand writer" as such. She left early in the piece. But how did later writers fare, internationally speaking? It was Janet Frame who first wrote the long awaited "New Zealand Novel." Owls Do Cry was published in 1957. A rather cruel but incisive novel, about herself (everyone has one good novel in them), it centred on her own childhood experiences in Oamaru, a small town eighty miles north of Dunedin -— a town in which rough farmers drove sheep-shit-smelling American V-8 jalopies inexpertly down the main drag — where the local "bikies" as they are now called, grouped in vociferous RECENT NEW ZEALAND WRITING 17 bunches outside the corner milk bar.

The 2015 lecture was significant for three reasons: firstly, it was a key part of the wonderful Dunedin Writers and Readers Festival – one of Australasia’s stellar festival events. Secondly, the lecture took place at Dunedin’s first literary festival as a UNESCO City of Literature, which is well-deserved recognition of the city’s past and present as an extraordinary place of words and writers. Last – but certainly not least – we were privileged to have Witi Ihimaera deliver the lecture, one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most acclaimed writers.

  • On Monday 3 December 2007 I Drove Down to Kaka Point to Talk with Hone Tuwhare About Bill Person
    ka mate ka ora: a new zealand journal of poetry and poetics Issue 8 September 2009 Hunt’s Baxter Francis McWhannell I didn’t know Then how short life is – how few The ones who really touch us (‘Words to Lay a Strong Ghost’, 1966) It is a little over 83 years since James Keir Baxter was born. Today, he is one of Aotearoa’s more familiar cultural personages (along with such figures as Janet Frame and Colin McCahon) and one of our few widely recognised poets, represented in the majority of twentieth century New Zealand verse anthologies and in many international English-language equivalents. Indeed, Baxter has in this country assumed the status of icon (with all the ambiguity that this implies). Had he not died in 1972, Baxter would no doubt have something to say about his present fame – he was an astute and prolific commentator, and an uncommonly self-conscious one. As it is, we-the-living are steadily turning out Baxter-based publications, James K. Baxter: Poems (Auckland University Press, 2009), selected and introduced by Sam Hunt, being just one recent example. I first learned of Hunt’s selection of Baxter when visiting a favourite Auckland bookshop. The handsome little publication was displayed in precisely the same spot as had been occupied some months before by another attractive hardback, Hunt’s own Doubtless: New & Selected Poems (Craig Potton, 2008). This latter I had purchased without hesitation. Despite wide popularity and saleability, Hunt’s poetry has of late been rather hard to get hold of. The demise of Hazard Press of Christchurch has effectively rendered Hunt’s Making Tracks: A Selected 50 Poems (1991) out of print, and second hand copies of his predominantly paperback collections are scarce, especially in good condition.

  • The Quest for the Long White Whale: Nature Imagery in New Zealand Classical Music
    THE QUEST FOR THE LONG WHITE WHALE: NATURE IMAGERY IN NEW ZEALAND CLASSICAL MUSIC Peter Beatson [An earlier version of this article appeared in Sites 22:34-53, 1991, and was reprinted with illustrations the following year in Canzona.] INTRODUCTION This article weaves together three intertwining threads. Firstly and most importantly, it is intended as a modest contribution to the academic study of New Zealand classical music. For a very small country, we have an impressive line-up of composers, of whom 105 are listed in John Mansfield Thomson's 1990 Biographical Dictionary of New Zealand Composers, yet the discursive content of their work receives far less analytical attention in sites of intellectual discourse than their literary colleagues. The present article is not intended as anything like a total survey, but I have attempted in its course to introduce the names of a significant number of composers and their works to indicate in purely quantitative terms the size of this rather under-valued component of our national culture. Here, then, is the first thread: putting it simply, I just wanted to write something about New Zealand classical music! However, that initial impulse was a little too vague, inchoate and open-ended. To limit the field, and to give the discussion manageable structure and direction, I made the strategic decision to focus on just one theme, namely the ways in which the natural world is represented in our national music. I will therefore not be discussing self-referential, abstract music with no aspirations to be anything other than a sonata, quartet, symphony or whatever, nor programmatic works (such as operas and songs) with subjects other than nature.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] From animism to expressionism in the early James K. Baxter Abstract The earliest critical wntmgs of James K. Baxter make frequent approving reference to animism as a basis of poetic experience. This tendency reached an extreme with the writing of his first play, Jack Winter's Dream, in 1956, after which the term 'animism' virtually disappeared from his critical vocabulary. It will be argued that with Jack Winter's Dream Baxter moved from animism to expressionism, the logical source of his major confessional poetry of the 1960s. This transition is particularly important in view of the recent popularity of the play, which in 1979 appeared in a new edition' and was released as a feature film.
