  • Christchurch Writers' Trail
    The Christch~rch Writers' Trail I The Christchurch c 3 mitersy&ai1 Page 1 Introduction 2 Writers Biographies Lady Barker e Canterbury Settlement, right from 1850, was notable for its exalted ideals. The @settlement's early colonists lugged ashore libraries, musical instruments, paints, Samuel Butler William Pember Reeves easels and plans for a grammar school and university. Within the first decade they Edith Grossmann started a newspaper, founded choral and orchestral societies, staged plays and Jessie Mackay started a public library. A surprising number of these pioneers were competent Arnold Wall writers. The published memoirs, letters, journals and poetry left by Charlotte Godley, Blanche Bau han Edward and Crosbie Ward, James FitzGerald, Henry Sewell, Sarah Courage, Laurence Johannes An 8ersen Kennaway, Lady Barker, Samuel Butler and other "pilgrims" established a robust Mary Ursula Bethell literary tradition in Canterbury, particularly in non-fiction and poetry. From the Alan Mulgan 1930s to the early 1950s, during Denis Glover's association with The Caxton Press, Esther Glen Oliver Duff Christchurch was indisputably the focal point of New Zealand's artistic life. The N~aioMarsh town's cultural and literary importance - about 280 writers are listed in this booklet D Arcy Cresswell in a record which is by no means definitive - continues to this day. Monte Holcroft James Courage The Canterbury Branch of the New Zealand Society of Authors has, with generous Allen Curnow assistance from The Community Trust, now laid 32 writers' plaques in various parts Essie Summers of Christchurch. It is hoped that the process begun in 1997 of thus honouring the Denis Glover literary talent of our town and province, will long continue.

  • Keynote Speech - Storylines National Children’S Writers and Illustrators’ Hui, 6 October 2017
    Keynote speech - Storylines National Children’s Writers and Illustrators’ Hui, 6 October 2017 The rise and rise of New Zealand children’s publishing Tessa Duder Once upon a time – about 1978 - a young mother of four was struck in the middle of the night with an idea for a children’s novel. A sailing adventure! A family in peril! Would they survive the night?! This was very odd: she’d never written a word of fiction in her life. Sometime during the four years it took to write the story and get it published, she cut out the cartoon below from the Listener and filed it away. (Elderly man to non-so-young woman at cocktail party: And what are you falling back on to writing children’s books from?) Miraculously, 35 years and about 50 books later, she was able to find it in a musty box file. We may laugh at the sub-text of that remark, but actually ‘falling back onto children’s books’ from success as adult writers has some noble exemplars: Leo Tolstoy, Oscar Wilde, Ian Fleming, A.A. Milne. Our own Janet Frame, Joy Cowley, William Taylor, Kate De Goldi, Graeme Lay, Barbara Else. Though it’s more often the reverse: highly skilled children’s writers ‘falling back’ onto writing for adults: think Mandy Hagar, Gaelyn Gordon, David Hill, Bernard Beckett, Fleur Beale, Roald Dahl, John Marsden, J.K. Rowling. The long path to success of Under the Mountain To consider one such fallen angel of the ‘falling back on to children’s’ variety, let’s recall the New Zealand of 1974.

Suzie Johnston delighted us with her presentation, causing much laughter, and the day finished with Lit Quiz Master, Wayne Mills as he had all competing against each other. Day Two started with Professor Janet Gaffney’s presentation, urging us to reflect on our own practice and question our approaches to our learners.
