Popes poetry, lyrically gifted, showed musical flair and easy felicity of rhyme. He began writing and publishing in earnest during the Edwardian era, and his work notably covers the two world wars and the national politics of the period, 1902-1944. His most interesting work concerns sporting verse on the 1924/25 All Blacks Invincibles tour of Great Britain and France and suburban satires on Wellington city-life. Pope was a leading light verse parodist of his day, publishing mainly in the Free Lance and The Evening Post, and was a precursor to the Wellington group of the 1950s. This selection gives a substantial picture of the man and his times and restores a significant New Zealand poet. Previously uncollected and unpublished poems accompany selections from Popes two published books. An appendix includes a selection of his prose writings, including his Wellington club cricket essay and sporting contorts and retorts. Mark Pirie is a Wellington poet, anthologist, critic and editor. He currently co-organises the Poetry Archive of New Zealand Aotearoa with Dr Niel Wright and Dr Michael OLeary. His books include A Tingling Catch: A Century of New Zealand Cricket Poems 1864-2009.

He became well known in Wellington between 1910 and 1945 for his contributions to the New Zealand Free Lance and the popular Postscripts column in the Evening Post newspaper as well as for his song New Zealand, My Homeland used nationally in New Zealand schools. Official birth records state Pope was born in Caversham, Dunedin, on 24 March 1865. He was one of a family of 12 and the son of Helen Grant Rattray and James Henry Pope (a future Government inspector of native schools and founder of the native school system).1 Helen and James had previously lived in Ballarat, Australia, and married there in 1862.2 They moved to Dunedin where James took up a position as assistant master at the High School of Otago (later Otago Boys High School).3 Popes father was an accomplished linguist, writer and musician.4 James retired from his final position as Deputy Principal at Girls High School at the end of 1878 due to ill health.5 In his poem Memories Pope recalls early Dunedin days where there by the fireside my father sat, And I upon his knee, Enthralled by the wondrous tale he told Of the Old, Old Man of the Sea. There my mother plied her needle oft Sure toil our rents supplied; As a child, Robert was educated first in Dunedin at Caversham District School and after the Boys High School until on 12 August 1881 Pope left Dunedin aboard the Penguin6 arriving in Wellington where he entered Wellington College.7 His father had by then moved the family north to begin his work as a Government founder/inspector of native schools. After school, Pope passed Junior Civil Service Examinations in 18888, New Zealand University matriculation examinations in 18899, Teachers Examinations in the early 1890s10, lived in various parts of the lower and central North Island and began working as a teacher. He married 11 Ernestina Victoria Pullar in Wellington on 29 December 1896. The couple had three children: Robert Earle Pope, Flora Pope and Eileen Fortune (née Pope). In 1938, Eileen (1903-78), a former teacher at Wellington Girls College, married in China Reo Fortune (1903-79), who became a well-known anthropologist at Cambridge University in England. In Canton, they had to flee from the advancing Japanese. In all, Pope worked for the Wellington Education Board for 37 years as teacher and headmaster. He began his teaching in 1888 as assistant master at Te Aute College, Hawkes Bay11, and then became a master at the first school in Levin that opened on 22 February 1890.12 Pope arrived in a bullock-dray but didnt last long and was relatively ineffective there. An inspectors report indicated he was perhaps too gentle for the environment, opting to move on at the end of the year.13 His particular dislike were the mosquitoes that arrived in spring from out of the bush.14 He moved to Featherston as an assistant master (1891-92) and was next an assistant master at Newtown School in Wellington (1893-1896). He then became a headmaster at Kaiwaiwai School for around nine years in the Wairarapa distinguishing himself with a high student pass record, the first time it had occurred in the Wairarapa.15 In March 1906 he was appointed headmaster of Kaiwarra [now Kaiwharawhara] School in Wellington for 20 years. After a fire destroyed his original residence near Kaiwarra School in 1911, he lived in various suburbs of Wellington.16 Pope retired from Kaiwarra School in December 1925 due to a breakdown in health forcing him to resign his position just as Kaiwarra opened a new school in a new location.17 His last address was at Garden Road in the suburb of Northland. There is a colourful depiction of his home in Northland in a newspaper article on his 85th birthday: A sunlit sceneflowers and shrubs in arabesques of light and shade beneath a mantle of trees. This was Natures greeting to Mr. R. J. Pope on his 85th birthday this morning. It was the kind of viewthe Botanical Gardens seen from his elevated home in Garden Roadthat never failed to delight Mr.

  • And Weasels, 1883–1920 163
    DOI:King: 10.20417/nzjecol.41.29 Spread of stoats and weasels, 1883–1920 163 REVIEW Liberation and spread of stoats (Mustela erminea) and weasels (M. nivalis) in New Zealand, 1883–1920 Carolyn M. King Environmental Research Institute, School of Science, University of Waikato, Hamilton 3240, New Zealand (Email: [email protected]) Published online: 29 May 2017 Abstract: This paper reviews the timing and spread of weasels and stoats across the South and North Islands of New Zealand during the late nineteenth century, entirely from historical records. The flavour of the debates and the assumptions that led to the commissioning of private and government shipments of these animals are best appreciated from the original documents. I describe the sites of the early deliberate releases in Otago, Canterbury, Marlborough, and Wairarapa, and list contemporary observations of the subsequent dispersal of the released animals to named locations in Southland, Westland, Wellington, Hawke’s Bay, Auckland and Northland. Originally, weasels were landed in far greater numbers than stoats (2622 weasels and 963 stoats listed in shipment records) and, while at first they were very abundant, they are now much less abundant than stoats. Two non-exclusive hypotheses could explain this historic change: (1) depletion of supplies of their preferred small prey including birds, mice, roosting bats, lizards, frogs and invertebrates, and (2) competition with stoats. Contemporary historic written observations on the first impacts of the arrivals of weasels and stoats on the native fauna offer graphic illustrations of what has been lost, but usually failed to consider the previous impacts of the abundant rats (Rattus exulans since the late 13th century, and R.

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.
