    A Survey of Recent New Zealand Writing TREVOR REEVES

    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.

Within the first decade they Edith Grossmann started a newspaper, founded choral and orchestral societies, staged plays and Jessie Mackay started a public library.

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.

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

    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.

A collectors item. During 1993 to 1994 Lawrence Jones and Lloyd Godman worked collaboratively on the Mythology of Place. They retraced the words of one of New Zealand’s most acknowledged poets, James K Baxter, searching for ar- tifacts that referenced real places, places where the youthful Baxter’s naked feet once trod, places that remained with him until the bare foot days before his death.
