R. D. Fairburn 54 Olive Johnson 5 Editorial There are at least two reasons not to be satisfied with this magazine. The first is plain enough. The magazine purports to give a representative selection of student writing at Auckland University. This it does not do; to the best of my ability I have excluded bad poetry and prose; and I had, for reasons of space, to exclude some good material. The second reason is less innocuous. As a punc- tuation mark in the book of student writing, 'Kiwi' is at best a tentative comma. It would be extreme to see the typewriter as modern man's answer to the Inquisition — as a sinister device which extracts ideas and then stamps on them with its neat jackboots. And it would be equally extreme to see 'Kiwi' as the culminating point of a year's writing. Its usefulness lies somewhere between these two extremes. It's a pretty accidental event. Art, one hopes, goes on. There is at present something of a vogue for decrying the excess number of first publications. But obviously enough, if one wants to, one has to start somewhere, and this is the peculiar function of a magazine such as this. Which can be both a good and a bad thing: the magazine can easily be a vehicle for the jejeune, the pretentious and the unskilled writer; but (as Olive Johnson reminds us in this issue) it can also contain the first appearances of poems by writers of the calibre of the late A. R. D. Fairburn. It is always necessarily a hazardous enterprise. The standards of any literary magazine are set by the material available. But in our case we can neither draw primarily on the work of established writers, nor hope for the same quantity of material from which to make a selection. We are in a state of constant and rapid flux. Which, again, is potentially either a good or a bad thing. However, even taking into account these obvious limitations, the amount of material submitted was very small. One always had the feeling that It Must Be Here Somewhere. But as the manuscripts trickled thinly in, it began to look as if the creative sphincter of the University was slowly and irrevocably seizing up; and even the minor flood over the last few days before copy closing did not dispell this impression. One was reminded of Peter Bland's remark in Charles Doyle's 'Recent Poetry in New Zealand,' that in our Universities 'We badly need an active and accessible sophistication.' This magazine does not claim to provide an instantaneous stimulus: nor, I hope, at the other extreme, is it an example of literary bedwetting. But it is divided into two sections; the first could be loosely called polemic, the second anthological. This seems necessary if the magazine is to have any dynamic function at all. The polemic section is made up of solicited articles, and has as its selective principle the observa- tion quoted above. The two reviews and the drawings by Nikolai Juriss were also solicited. In selecting the poetry and prose, any critical criteria I had did not so much pre-exist as emerge from the material itself. Many of the poems were weighed down with adjectives. This usually indi- cated one of two things: either the writer had only a vague idea of what he or she was trying to say, or had a clear enough idea but lacked the tools to say it precisely. Form was a major difficulty. Many poems were bad parodies of free-verse constructions. Lines were arranged in a particular order for no particular reason. So-called free verse, to be effective, demands discipline as well as acentual intuition, or whathaveyou. Any reader of Ezra Pound or William Carlos Williams, to mention two very 6 disparate poets, will have found this. Many of the poems submitted to me were just plain untidy, often lacking too the sort of kinetic tension which good use of language and syntax can create. There were two more faults which frequently went hand in glove: difficulty for difficulty's sake was one of the most prominent characteristics of the poems. Not content to let an idea speak for itself, to gather complexity by the very directness of its expression, contributors tended to hedge about their ideas with 'poetic' obfuscations to the extent that not only was the 'Gestalten' behind words and thing obscured, but the thing itself was quite lost — a case of not being able to see the forest for the trees; and with this often came an inability to end a poem successfully. I was sometimes excited by a piece, only to find that the poet took it too far, felt the need to draw some unnecessary con- clusion, could not find the right place for the final full-stop or the right phrase to put behind it. Some protest poetry was submitted. It would have been included if the objections had been couched in original terms. Unfortunately, the suns were all very ordinary. About the prose contributions little can be said, since very few were submitted. Perhaps the odd free verse poet should try this medium. All this of course is unnecessary for the person who wants simply to read the material collected here. I have tried not to pontificate and not to state the obvious. Inevitably I have ended up doing both. The academic has a horny hide; nevertheless his apologues are frequently apologies. So the best thing one can ever do is get on and read the pieces for their individual merit. Remembering in this case that there are no conclusions to be drawn from the literary material as a whole: the poetry and prose is not a coherent collection which can, in choro, tell you anything about the abstraction 'Student Writing.'

PHONE 22-203 9 6 Kiwi in the Closet 9 or The Possibility of a New Zealand Philosophy Rosalind Hursthouse When you ask a philosopher to answer the question "Could there be a New Zealand Philo- sophy?" he immediately does a very unsatisfying thing. He sits back in his chair and says, "Well, that all depends on what you mean by 'a philosophy' and 'a New Zealand philosophy' and 'could there be?' and . ." This sort of answer may be unsatisfying, but I submit that it is satisfactory, and is, in fact, the only way to answer such a question. Most people I have tried my first question on, "What do you mean by 'a New Zealand Philo- sophy'," have waved their hands and started talking about what they call "the French Philosophy." I ask them to be more explicit and they mention Sartre, Camus, de Beauvoir, the Nouvelle Vague films, Existentialism, and so on.

    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 thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. ALLEGORY IN THE FICTION OF JANET FRAME A thesis in partial fulfIlment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English at Massey University. Judith Dell Panny 1991. i ABSTRACT This investigation considers some aspects of Janet Frame's fiction that have hitherto remained obscure. The study includes the eleven novels and the extended story "Snowman, Snowman". Answers to questions raised by the texts have been found within the works themselves by examining the significance of reiterated and contrasting motifs, and by exploring the most literal as well as the figurative meanings of the language. The study will disclose the deliberate patterning of Frame's work. It will be found that nine of the innovative and cryptic fictions are allegories. They belong within a genre that has emerged with fresh vigour in the second half of this century. All twelve works include allegorical features. Allegory provides access to much of Frame's irony, to hidden pathos and humour, and to some of the most significant questions raised by her work. By exposing the inhumanity of our age, Frame prompts questioning and reassessment of the goals and values of a materialist culture. Like all writers of allegory, she focuses upon the magic of language as the bearer of truth as well as the vehicle of deception.

  • U DSG Papers of Howard Sergeant, Including [1930]-1995 the Archives of 'Outposts' Poetry Magazine
    Hull History Centre: Howard Sergeant, inc 'Outposts' poetry magazine U DSG Papers of Howard Sergeant, including [1930]-1995 the Archives of 'Outposts' poetry magazine Biographical Background: Herbert ('Howard') Sergeant was born in Hull in 1914 and qualified as an accountant. He served in the RAF and the Air Ministry during the Second World War and with the assistance of his friend Lionel Monteith, edited and published the first issue of his poetry magazine 'Outposts' in February 1944. Outposts is the longest running independent poetry magazine in Britain. Sergeant had been writing poetry since childhood and his first poem to be published was 'Thistledown magic', in 'Chambers Journal' in 1943. 'Outposts' was conceived in wartime and its early focus was on poets 'who, by reason of the particular outposts they occupy, are able to visualise the dangers which confront the individual and the whole of humanity, now and after the war' (editorial, 'Outposts', no.1). Over the decades, the magazine specialised in publishing unrecognised poets alongside the well established. Sergeant deliberately avoided favouring any particular school of poetry, and edited 'Mavericks: an anthology', with Dannie Abse, in 1957, in support of this stance. Sergeant's own poetry was included in the first issue of 'Outposts' (but rarely thereafter) and his first published collection, 'The Leavening Air', appeared in 1946. He was involved in setting up the Dulwich Group (a branch of the British Poetry Association) in 1949, and again, when it re-formed in 1960. In 1956, Sergeant published the first of the Outposts Modern Poets Series of booklets and hardbacks devoted to individual poets.

  • Pākehā Constructions of National Identity in New Zealand Literary Anthologies
    CREATING NEW ZEALAND: PĀKEHĀ CONSTRUCTIONS OF NATIONAL IDENTITY IN NEW ZEALAND LITERARY ANTHOLOGIES A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Victoria University of Wellington by SUSAN WILD Victoria University of Wellington 2015 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my grateful thanks for the support and assistance of my two supervisors at Victoria University, Professors Mark Williams and Peter Whiteford, who have provided invaluable guidance in bringing the thesis to its completion; Professor Vincent O’Sullivan and Dr. Brian Opie provided early assistance; I am appreciative also for the helpful advice and encouragement given by Ed Mares, and for the support and patience of my family. This was especially helpful during the disruptive period of the Christchurch earthquakes, and in their long aftermath. I wish also to state my appreciation for the services of the staff at the National Library of New Zealand, the Alexander Turnbull Library, the MacMillan Brown Library, the Mitchell Library, Sydney, and the libraries of Victoria University of Wellington and the University of Canterbury – the extensive collections of New Zealand literature held at these institutions and others comprise an enduring taonga. 1 ABSTRACT The desire to construct a sense of home and the need to belong are basic to human society, and to the processes of its cultural production. Since the beginning of New Zealand’s European colonial settlement, the determination to create and reflect a separate and distinctive collective identity for the country’s Pākehā population has been the primary focus of much local creative and critical literature.
