OLearys book is based on his Victoria University of Wellington, N.Z., Womens Studies Department, PhD thesis, Social and Literary Constraints on Women Writers in New Zealand: 1945-1970. Richard Berengartens sonnets are from a work in progress titled Notness. This title is an anagram of the word sonnets. Grateful acknowledgement is made to the editors and publishers of the following collection and newspapers where the poems in this issue first appeared: O E Hugo: Trees appeared in the Otago Witness, 10 October 1889, and Home of the Para Fern was in the Otago Witness, 24 March 1898. Cameron La Follette: All poems are taken from Camerons collection Salmon Guardian (Original Books: Wellington, 2012). 4 / Preface This issue features the poetry of the North American poet Cameron La Follette. Its an honour to include her work in broadsheet. I first published Camerons poetry in an issue of Poetry Notes, the first Poetry Archive of New Zealand Aotearoa newsletter in Autumn 2010. Cameron co-founded the Classic Poetry Group in her hometown of Salem, Oregon. She had an interest in English-language classic poetry, and through her own researches discovered Australian and New Zealand poetry. She became the Australia and New Zealand editor for RPO (Representative Poetry Online), which is a project of the University of Toronto, in hopes of making the classic poetry of those two countries more available to North Americans. Both Niel Wright and I continue to help Cameron with her research in this area. Niel then started archiving Camerons own poetry in New Zealand in A4 hand-made books, which he deposited into the Alexander Turnbull Library at the National Library of New Zealand. The project when complete will run to 1,300 of Camerons poems, a unique archive for the Turnbull Library to have in Wellington. Cameron has been writing poetry since childhood, but dedicated herself to it upon returning to Oregon from New York in 2001, after sixteen years there. In New York she worked as a writer and legal researcher while studying first for her Law degree, and then for a Masters degree in Psychology. Back in Oregon, she now works for a nonprofit organization as an environmental advocate protecting Oregons coast. In 2006 one book of her poetry was published by a small press in Oregon. La Follettes poetry is lyrical, passionate, classical and traditional in approach centred around nature and wildlife themes and with classical mythology and spirituality at her core. In this mode, Camerons work is impressive and her overall oeuvre is building up to being quite significant. Elsewhere in this issue is new work by Richard Berengarten, the renowned UK poet, along with work by Michael Duffett, of California. Its great to feature poets who havent appeared previously in broadsheet. The work of talented writers like Pearlie Reeves, the late Erihapeti Murchie, John Dennison, Laura Morris and Zarah Butcher-McGunnigle appears for the first time. As well, O E Hugo, a poet I came across quite recently in the Otago Witness newspaper from the 19th century also appears. Hugo is another of New Zealands long forgotten poets who rewards rediscovery. Mark Pirie Wellington, May 2013 / 5 Richard Berengarten S I E S T A Where does your skin, or mine, begin or end? Stilled in the wake of storms we woke and spurred, my borders, lying next to yours, float blurred among these waves we failed to tire or spend. Through hand-clasp, elbow-crook, hip-fold, knee-bend, you wrapped me ín you as our passions stirred (and through each others passions, more incurred). And still our bodies merge. Our beings blend. What shall be said then (rich loss? faint tristesse?) when what we know is this calm tenderness? Now, as we sleep-wake, cool net curtains let kind breeze in from this sunny afternoon. Relishing this, well shower, go out soon. A P P R O A C H M E N O T The cavern where the dreamer sleeps enclosed by panes of consciousness is made of stuff permeable to eternities. Enough of limitations grammars have imposed on waves of seeing, traced on haze and seeming. Approach me not. An elseness in me wakes out of this body, outside all the walls where distance and horizons shed their skin and everything and nothing tumble in, past ordering, past patterning, past scheming. The bond, appearance, stretches taut and breaks all contraries that differentiate, and I, whatever I was, cannot wait. A burned moon rises, and a black sun falls. 6 / A N O M A L O U S P H E N O M E N A Anomalous phenomena, though strained through test and rétest, arent attuned to give hoped-for results. Rather, being engrained fast in resistance, their prerogative appears to be to baffle, block, occlude, refuse to open intervening valves and, as it were, deliberately, exclude the curious watcher from the things themselves. But should the watcher once stop watching and let focal points lie fallow till they blur, then things, without support, or helping hand, may of their own accord begin to stir. So could it be that things themselves have eyes enabling them to take us by surprise? H E N C E I N T O S U C H N E S S Adieu donc, chants de cuivre Baudelaire Hence into suchness if such suchness be available for purchase, hire, rent, theft. Thrift calls, suspecting magnanimity of pouring, overbrimming, through the cleft that gives on such horizons, such broad vistas, self-loss (and even loss of selfs desire) record as flak through terminal transistors. Blue dream? White noise? Mere background hum? Pale fire? Not to be bought? Not known? Is there no rent quite high enough to pay the asking price suchness demands be dissipated spent on entering where this nows non-paradise (accreting notness as our instants live), gets made, unmade, recursive, iterative? / 7 I N S O M N I A C P R E S E N C E To wake up, and to be being wide awake are different. The first calls dawn, arising, a first sun pouring light across the lake, a light for seeing through, not analysing. Night, past and gone, a drowned wreck fast capsizing under the ghosthood of its foamless wake, gives way, itself away, all compromising, and brittle vials of dark expand and break. But I dream of a being that cant sleep whose constant state is steadily aware of all that is and can be, anywhere. Insomniac presence, missing you, I weep, denied in thought-knots as I watch and keep calling for you, on you, who are not there. M O O N O V E R S E A Times when joys so full I feel I could burst when in fact I does burst: explodes in thous- ands of connecting splinters, the way those moonflecks there spill, ripple tide-wide waves. Best then never swell to encompass this beast (many-faced) identity. Rather with these phantasms, let all fail, flake, fly. Since all withers eventually, why flinch, fluster, flail, wail, boast? Catch joys rather in their moments of disappearing into únthinking, únthought, thoughts entire notness past fellow feeling, past fearing, of falling apart, past loss, past past desire, and never mind that melting or those searing blue and yellow flames melting in black fire. 8 / Tony Beyer D E A T H S C E N E S I N N I N E T E E N T H C E N T U R Y N O V E L S with age Ive come to prefer them even to floggings duels and burials at sea first the long sweaty torpor the shudders and chills the family waits clutching damp handkerchiefs or gritting teeth against the bulbous handle of a cane some may weep some may turn to face the drawn curtains convinced the light will never come again a sudden irruption of vitality frequently accompanied by insight into lifes undeserved reputation for generosity or the black vacuum of despair then the seizure dark blood from the corner of the mouth eyes staring up at the ceiling as if they can just make out God / 9 Zarah Butcher-McGunnigle From A U T O B I O G R A P H Y O F A M A R G U E R I T E It is not even a story.

    Biological Invasions The Ins and Outs of Acclimatisation: Imports versus Translocations of Skylarks and Starlings in 19th century New Zealand --Manuscript Draft-- Manuscript Number: BINV-D-18-00423R1 Full Title: The Ins and Outs of Acclimatisation: Imports versus Translocations of Skylarks and Starlings in 19th century New Zealand Article Type: Research paper Keywords: acclimatisation, alien, birds, New Zealand, propagule pressure Corresponding Author: Pavel Pipek, Ph.D. Institute of Botany, Czech Academy of Sciences Průhonice, CZECH REPUBLIC Corresponding Author Secondary Information: Corresponding Author's Institution: Institute of Botany, Czech Academy of Sciences Corresponding Author's Secondary Institution: First Author: Pavel Pipek, Ph.D. First Author Secondary Information: Order of Authors: Pavel Pipek, Ph.D. Tim M. Blackburn Petr Pyšek Order of Authors Secondary Information: Funding Information: The Czech Academy of Sciences Prof. Petr Pyšek (RVO67985939) Hlávka foundation Dr. Pavel Pipek Rector's Mobility Fund of the Charles Dr. Pavel Pipek University Abstract: New Zealand is home to around 40 alien bird species, but about 80 more were introduced in the 19th century and failed to establish. As most of these introductions were deliberate and documented in detail by the Acclimatisation Societies responsible for them, New Zealand bird invasions are often used as a model system to unravel what determines the outcome of introduction events, especially the role of propagule pressure. However, the credibility of these data was challenged recently, as different authors have reported different numbers of liberated birds. This discrepancy has several causes. Using introductions of Eurasian skylark (Alauda arvensis) and Common starling (Sturnus vulgaris) as examples, we show that the most important issue is that not all liberated birds were imported from overseas, and so import records underestimate the total propagule pressure for particular regions.

By 1863 about 150 miners had pegged out claims along the August 1997 creek. Some claims were rich and yielded 15–50 ounces a week (Parcell 1976:123). One of these alluvial miners, Thomas Logan, began to prospect on the lower slopes of Dunstan range; searching Peter Bristow died for the quartz reefs that gave rise to the gold in the creek. Logan suddenly in 2003 found a clearly defined reef and was able to produce samples of while still working for quartz with gold clearly showing. But despite this he was unable the conservancy. to interest other miners in his discovery. Quartz mining required a lot of capital to be successful and the alluvial miners of Bendigo All photos by Matthew Sole did not have the money required (Duff 1978:73). unless otherwise credited.

It wasn’t until 1865 when the mining surveyor Coates made an official report on the Bendigo quartz reefs that interest was taken in Logan’s discovery. A group of wealthy Dunedin businessmen formed the Bendigo Quartz Mining Company and applied for a 16 ½ acre lease along Logan’s reef. Two miners were employed to sink a shaft on the reef and by June 1866 half a ton of stone had been raised and sent to Dunedin for testing.

  • Chch Star Poets Index and Notes

It should be noted that I may have missed a few poems here and there as I’ve only checked Saturday publications of The Star for these years, and I can’t be certain that there weren’t occasional midweek publications of poems. Some issues like the supplement to Saturday 2 August 1924 were missing (in micro film runs) and it’s likely Sherratt’s 25th Polynesian legend (of the 30) appeared that weekend. I’ve only included local NZ poets in the Index from the Saturday poetry page 'Among the Poets'. Overseas poets appeared as well, reproduced from overseas magazines and collections. These overseas poets are not in the Index. There were also two regular (unsigned) doggerel columns: 'Spindrifts' and 'Things Thoughtful' and I've not indexed these columns.

  • Stabat Mater Dolorosa
    New Zealand Journal of History, 41, 1 (2007) Stabat mater dolorosa DEATH, PHOTOGRAPHY AND COLLECTIVE MOURNING Death loves to be represented . The image can retain some of the obscure, repressed meanings that the written word filters out. Hence its power to move us so deeply. Philippe Ariès1 ON 27 JULY 1916 the Auckland Weekly News had on its cover a photograph captioned ‘The Casualty List’ (Figure One). The caption directed the viewer’s gaze to the image of a solitary woman leaning against the fireplace of an Edwardian parlour. She had her back to the viewer, her head bowed, her left hand resting on the mantelpiece above the fireplace. In her right hand she clutched a copy of a newspaper. We can see the masthead; the newspaper was the New Zealand Herald. Its slightly crumpled appearance and the caption of the work leaves no doubt that she had been reading the latest lists of men killed, wounded or missing in action. On the mantelpiece was a framed photograph of a man in a soldier’s uniform. Her left hand touched its frame. Hers was a pose of sorrowful resignation within the privacy of a domestic setting. Superimposed on the upper left side of the image was a photograph of a clump of soldiers with their bayonets at the ready, with one figure in the foreground falling back as if fatally wounded. The inclusion of this picture of a battle scene suggested that she was imagining the unfolding of events somewhere on the Western Front. We do not know whether she was mourning the loss of a specific individual — lover, husband, brother — or whether her sorrow was a more generalized grief in response to the sheer excess of youthful tragedy represented by the casualty list.

  • The Principal Time Balls of New Zealand
    Journal of Astronomical History and Heritage, 20(1), 69±94 (2017). THE PRINCIPAL TIME BALLS OF NEW ZEALAND Roger Kinns School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia. Email: [email protected] Abstract: Accurate time signals in New Zealand were important for navigation in the Pacific. Time balls at Wellington and Lyttelton were noted in the 1880 Admiralty list of time signals, with later addition of Otago. The time ball service at Wellington started in March 1864 using the first official observatory in New Zealand, but there was no Wellington time ball service during a long period of waterfront redevelopment during the 1880s. The time ball service restarted in November 1888 at a different harbour location. The original mechanical apparatus was used with a new ball, but the system was destroyed by fire in March 1909 and was never replaced. Instead, a time light service was inaugurated in 1912. The service at Lyttelton, near Christchurch, began in December 1876 after construction of the signal station there. It used telegraph signals from Wellington to regulate the time ball. By the end of 1909, it was the only official time ball in New Zealand, providing a service that lasted until 1934. The Lyttelton time ball tower was an iconic landmark in New Zealand that had been carefully restored. Tragically, the tower collapsed in the 2011 earthquakes and aftershocks that devastated Christchurch. An Otago daily time ball service at Port Chalmers, near Dunedin, started in June 1867, initially using local observatory facilities. The service appears to have been discontinued in October 1877, but was re-established in April 1882 as a weekly service, with control by telegraph from Wellington.

  • Mcpherson FAMILY
    McPHERSON FAMILY of Dunedin, New Zealand with the Perthshire Ancestry of John McPHERSON 1865 - 1947 by Beverley E. JEFFERY 2008 John and Elizabeth McPHERSON of Dunedin McPHERSON FAMILY This family history follows the direct line ancestry on my mother’s side of the family, from the McPHERSONS of Fortingall, Perthshire to Dunedin, New Zealand. I have not had any family notes to use as a basis for this story, and very little verbal information, both of which were an advantage when writing about my father’s side of our story. There may be diaries of ship-board experiences and early ancestral days, but I have not had access to any, so it has not been easy to create an understanding of the style of life they led, the conditions under which they lived and employment related experiences. For that information I have had to rely heavily on The Statistical Accounts of Scotland which were written by the parish ministers of the day and from one or two booklets which discussed the social conditions in the County of Perthshire, which also contained background information on various areas. I have not been able to trace wills for any of our very early ancestors which usually confirmed land ownership or a placing of value on what they had to leave to their offspring. Wills can be helpful in pinpointing areas of residence and placing family members in the right sequence, but it is known that few Scots left wills. The nearest I could come to this was the finding of an Inventory for John McPHERSON who died in 1859, where he named places of residence for family members.

  • Rereading Sikh History in New Zealand 1900-1914
    297 Harpreet Singh: Sikhs in New Zealand Re-Reading Sikh History in New Zealand 1900-1940 Harpreet Singh University of Otago, New Zealand _______________________________________________________________ The research presented in this article brings forth new archival information on the Sikh community in New Zealand between 1900 and 1945. The article draws upon information from multiple primary sources including records of colonial institutions and newspapers. The details about the everyday life of Sikhs in New Zealand are analysed. This includes their activities, occupations and employment as well as their interactions with colonial institutions such as the military, government institutions and the judicial system. In addition the article presents information on public dealings of Sikhs in several areas such as entertainment, sports, religion and culture. This research reveals how Sikhs were integrated into the New Zealand society and presents a new opportunity to scholars in terms of primary source information. Consequently the histories previously thought complete can now be reanalysed in light of new evidence. Finally this article provides fresh and detailed perspectives on the Sikhs by enriching, questioning and revealing new streams of history thought lost to time. _______________________________________________________________ The Sikh community’s history between 1900 and 1940 has been viewed through the lens of oral history. This has been, in part, due to the continuing reliance on McLeod’s extensive research on the earliest settlers and their descendants recorded in his book Punjabis in New Zealand.1 The lack of research into the early history of community has also been compounded by the lack of accessibility to primary sources especially with print culture sources.
