He explores old territories of Robin Hyde’s, still dripping with the past – the tide pool at Island Bay, the garden at Laloma. He listens to the stories of his parents and their parents, the eels and milk, frangipani trees, drains and barbed wire of their childhoods. While stumbling across irreparable fractures between worlds, the author uncovers the permission to have beautiful and imperfect plans. Gregory Kan is a writer based in Auckland. His most recent series of poems, ‘A holding apart of air’, features in the catalogue for the exhibition what is a life? by the painter Kim Pieters, at the Adam Art Gallery, Wellington, and his work is featured or forthcoming in literary journals such as brief, Hue & Cry, otoliths, Percutio, Sport and Turbine. February 2016, 210 x 148 mm, 84 pages Paperback, 978 1 86940 845 9, $24.99 4/5 Autumn 2016 A WHAKAPAPA OF TRADITION: ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF NGĀTI POROU CARVING, 1830–1930 Ngarino Ellis, with new photography by Natalie Robertson In A Whakapapa of Tradition, Ngarino Ellis examines how and why a rapid evolution in Māori carving took place between 1830 and 1930 by exploring the Iwirākau school of carving. The six major carvers of this school went on to create more than thirty important meeting houses and other structures, which Ellis draws on to tell this story of Ngāti Porou carving and a profound transformation in Māori art. Beautifully illustrated with new photography by Natalie Robertson, and drawing on the work of key scholars, A Whakapapa of Tradition will be a landmark volume in the history of writing about Māori art. Ngarino Ellis (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Porou) is a lecturer in art history at the University of Auckland and co-editor with Deidre Brown of Te Puna: Māori Art from Northland. Natalie Robertson (Ngāti Porou, Clann Dhònnchaidh) is a photographic artist and senior lecturer at AUT University. March 2016, 248 x 200 mm, 304 pages, colour illustrations Hardback, 978 1 86940 737 7, $69.99 6/7 Autumn 2016 BESIDE HERSELF Chris Price ‘All of my best lines are accidents’, Chris Price writes in this book, and proceeds to prove that she has the knack of putting herself in harm’s way and the skill to build from there. Beside Herself plays with character, and with language, and with the way the one works on the other. A selection of beautifully crafted, riddling poems of persons and personae, truths and falsehoods, frank identities and masked selves, Beside Herself is a playful, shapeshifting performance. Chris Price is based in Wellington, where she teaches the poetry MA at the International Institute of Modern Letters at Victoria University. Her first collection of poems,Husk , won the 2002 NZSA Jessie Mackay Award for Best First Book of Poetry and her next book, the genre-busting Brief Lives, was shortlisted in the biography category in the 2007 Montana New Zealand Book Awards. March 2016, 198 x 132 mm, 120 pages Paperback, 978 1 86940 846 6, $24.99 10/11 Autumn 2016 FAT SCIENCE: WHY DIETS AND EXERCISE DON’T WORK — AND WHAT DOES Robyn Toomath Fat Science draws on the latest research and twenty years of working with overweight patients to offer realism and policy solutions to one of our biggest problems. Robyn Toomath shows how our modern world is making us fat. And while governments and individuals keep trying things that science shows do not work – from dieting to education campaigns – she outlines what just might make a difference in ending the obesity epidemic. A thousand books will tell you how to get thin. It looks like they haven’t worked. We just keep getting fatter. Fat Science – a small book about one of our biggest problems – can change that. Robyn Toomath is the clinical director of general medicine at Auckland Hospital, former president of the New Zealand Society for the Study of Diabetes, and founder of Fight the Obesity Epidemic. April 2016, 190 x 140 mm, 200 pages, NZ & Australian rights only Paperback, 978 1 86940 853 4, $29.99 12/13 Autumn 2016 A FEW HARES TO CHASE: THE LIFE AND ECONOMICS OF BILL PHILLIPS Alan Bollard ‘Bill Phillips was an inventor, an adventurer, a hero and a relentlessly original thinker. He was the Indiana Jones of economics and Alan Bollard has written a definitive biography.’ – Tim Harford, author of The Undercover Economist How did an electrician from New Zealand with a few mediocre grades in sociology write the second most cited economics article in the world, build the MONIAC – a revolutionary computing machine – and quickly rise to become one of the world’s leading economists? From a remote Dannevirke farm to wartime POW camps to London’s intellectual world, the Bill Phillips story is a true New Zealand tale of adventurous spirit and can-do energy. Alan Bollard is the executive director of the APEC Secretariat in Singapore, former governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and secretary of the Treasury, and the author of Crisis: One Central Bank Governor and the Global Financial Collapse (2010). April 2016, 216 x 138 mm, 296 pages, NZ & Australian rights only Paperback, 978 1 86940 829 9, $39.99 14/15 Winter 2016 SHELF LIFE: REVIEWS, REPLIES AND REMINISCENCES C K Stead Every morning for the past thirty years, C K Stead has written fiction and poetry.Shelf Life collects the best of his afternoon work: reviews and essays, interviews and diaries, lectures and opinion pieces. Stead takes the reader through nine essays in ‘the Mansfield file’, collects works of criticism and review in ‘book talk’, writes in the ‘first person’ about everything from David Bain to Parnell, and finally offers some recent reflections on poetic laurels from his time as New Zealand poet laureate. Throughout, Stead is vintage Stead: incisive, intelligent, personal. C K Stead has published more than forty books and received numerous prizes and honours recognising his contribution to literature. He received our highest award, the Order of New Zealand, in 2007 and he is the New Zealand poet laureate for 2015–2017.

Simpson brings to life the individual artists and their passions, but he also takes us inside the scenes that they created together: Bethell and her visiting coterie of younger poets; Glover and Bensemann’s exacting typography at the Caxton Press; the yearly exhibitions and aesthetic clashes of the Group; McCahon and Baxter’s developing friendship; the effects of Brasch’s patronage; Marsh’s Shakespearian productions at the Little Theatre. Simpson re-creates a Christchurch we have lost, where a group of artists collaborated to create a distinctively New Zealand art. A writer and scholar who now lives in Auckland, Peter Simpson lived in Christchurch for 25 years and both graduated from and subsequently taught at the University of Canterbury. Simpson is the author of six non-fiction books and has edited, or contributed to, many other titles. July 2016, 238 x 200 mm, 364 pages, colour illustrations Hardback, 978 1 86940 848 0, $69.99 18/19 Winter 2016 THE ROAD TO HELL: STATE VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN IN POSTWAR NEW ZEALAND Elizabeth Stanley From the 1950s to the 1980s, the New Zealand government took more than 100,000 children from experiences of strife, neglect, poverty or family violence and placed them in state homes like Epuni, Kingslea, Kohitere and Allendale. Within institutions, children faced abysmal conditions, limited education and social isolation. They endured physical, sexual and psychological violence, as well as secure cells, knock-out sedatives and electro- convulsive therapy. Stanley tells the children’s story: growing up in homes characterised by violence and neglect; removal into the state’s ‘care’ network; daily life in the institutions; violence and punishment; and the legacy of this treatment for victims today. Elizabeth Stanley is a Reader in the Institute of Criminology at Victoria University of Wellington. She is the author of Torture, Truth and Justice and co-editor of State Crime and Resistance (Routledge, 2009; 2013).

  • Ka Mate Ka Ora: a New Zealand Journal of Poetry and Poetics
    ka mate ka ora: a new zealand journal of poetry and poetics Issue 4 September 2007 Poetry at Auckland University Press Elizabeth Caffin Weathers on this shore want sorts of words. (Kendrick Smithyman, ‘Site’) Auckland University Press might never have been a publisher of poetry were it not for Kendrick Smithyman. It was his decision. As Dennis McEldowney recalls, a letter from Smithyman on 31 March 1967 offering the manuscript of Flying to Palmerston, pointed out that ‘it is to the university presses the responsibility is falling for publishing poetry. Pigheaded and inclined to the parish pump, I would rather have it appear in New Zealand if it appears anywhere’.1 Dennis, who became Editor of University Publications in 1966 and in the next two decades created a small but perfectly formed university press, claimed he lacked confidence in judging poetry. But Kendrick and C. K. Stead, poets and academics both, became his advisors and he very quickly established an impressive list. At its core were the great New Zealand modernist poets. Dennis published five books by Smithyman, three by Stead and three by Curnow starting with the marvellous An Incorrigible Music in 1979.2 Curnow and Smithyman were not young and had published extensively elsewhere but most would agree that their greatest work was written in their later years; and AUP published it. Soon a further group of established poets was added: three books by Elizabeth Smither, one by Albert Wendt, one by Kevin Ireland. And then a new generation, the exuberant poets of the 1960s and 1970s such as Ian Wedde (four books), Bill Manhire, Bob Orr, Keri Hulme, Graham Lindsay, Michael Harlow.

  • Public Version Fairfax / Nzme Response to Submissions 29
    PUBLIC VERSION FAIRFAX / NZME RESPONSE TO SUBMISSIONS 29 JULY 2016 INTRODUCTION 1. NZME Limited 1 (" NZME ") and Fairfax NZ Limited (" Fairfax ") have had the opportunity to review the public submissions to the Commerce Commission (" Commission ") in response to the Commission's Statement of Preliminary Issues dated 14 June 2016 (" SOPI ") in relation to the Fairfax / NZME application (the " Application ") seeking approval to merge the New Zealand operations of NZME and Fairfax (the "Transaction "). 2. Fairfax and NZME's responses and observations in relation to the submissions and the key points contained in them are set out below. Appendix Two also contains an overview of the recent Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2016 and The Pew Research Center State of the News Media 2016 report that reinforce the acceleration of the trends identified in the Application. SUMMARY 3. The Commission received 49 submissions in total. Once duplicated submissions from a single person / economic entity are removed, there are fewer than 40.2 This is a low number of submissions on a high-profile transaction involving media. 3 4. All the submissions were from competitors, journalists, or academics / public policy lobby groups. That is unusual when measured, for example, against the range of submissions received by the Commission on its last high profile authorisation. 4 It is however not surprising. In traditional competition analysis, if competitors are opposing, it is often an indicator that the merger will be pro-competitive,5 as the merged entity is potentially expected to provide a better offering to customers (in this case, consumers and advertisers). 5.

  • The Sinking of the Rainbow Warrior: Responses to an International Act of Terrorism
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by NECTAR Journal of Postcolonial Cultures and Societies ISSN No. 1948-1845 (Print); 1948-1853 (Electronic) The sinking of the rainbow warrior: Responses to an international act of terrorism Janet Wilson Introduction: the Rainbow Warrior Affair The Rainbow Warrior affair, an act of sabotage against the flagship of the Greenpeace fleet, the Rainbow Warrior, when berthed at Marsden wharf in Auckland harbour on 10th July 1985, dramatised in unprecedented ways issues of neo-imperialism, national security, eco-politics and postcolonialism in New Zealand. The bombing of the yacht by French secret service agents effectively prevented its participation in a Nuclear Free Pacific campaign in which it was to have headed the Pacific Fleet Flotilla to Moruroa atoll protesting French nuclear testing. Outrage was compounded by tragedy: the vessel’s Portuguese photographer, Fernando Pereira, went back on board to get his camera after the first detonation and was drowned in his cabin following the second one. The evidence of French Secret Service (Direction Generale de la Securite Exterieure or DGSE) involvement which sensationally emerged in the following months, not only enhanced New Zealand’s status as a small nation and wrongful victim of French neo-colonial ambitions, it dramatically magnified Greenpeace’s role as coordinator of New Zealand and Pacific resistance to French bomb-testing. The stand-off in New Zealand –French political relations for almost a decade until French bomb testing in the Pacific ceased in 1995 notwithstanding, this act of terrorism when reviewed after almost 25 years in the context of New Zealand’s strategic and political negotiations of the 1980s, offers a focus for considering the changing composition of national and regional postcolonial alliances during Cold War politics.

    ‘Rather a lot of death’: Misreading Lauris Edmond’s Late Song as an intentional last collection Samantha Lentle-Keenan The critic MacD. P. Jackson, in writing of Shakespeare‟s rivals, touched on a critical truism. „Poetry is not autobiography,‟ writes Jackson. „There is a “reality prior to the poem”, but the poet transmutes it, constructing a verbal object designed to evoke an aesthetic response‟ (224). When reading last volumes, however, this New Critical edict is frequently ignored. As readers, we tend to approach last collections with a different kind of expectation, or perhaps a better word is hope – the hope that the author will somehow speak again from what Lauris Edmond termed in her poetry the „irredeemable silence‟ of death (1977, 11). Last volumes frequently assume the status of a final letter, written when death weighs heavily on the author‟s mind, and we expect from them a distillation of all that life came to mean, framed as a kind of parting gift. Many of us read last volumes, particularly those that are posthumously published, in the hope that we will be able to locate the author as they examine life from the brink, and we tend to think that if we look hard enough we will be able to see them standing there, watching, as the final curtain comes down. As a result, we find Plath‟s Ariel resonating with the exultant despair that prefigured her suicide. Introducing Janet Frame‟s posthumously published The Goose Bath, Bill Manhire goes so far as to suggest that [i]n a very loose and inexact way this collection gives some sense of what a further volume of autobiography might have looked like: the crowded world of relationships and travel; the moments of mischief and joy; the energy and courage of the clear-sighted, confident woman whom Michael King so richly portrayed in Wrestling with the Angel.
