Alistair Paterson: Song for Celia from Arena, No. 79, July 1973 (Handcraft Press: Pukerua Bay); and Safely perhaps, the Alamo from Evergreen Review online, No. 124, September 2010. 4 / Preface Except for a brief period in the late fifties and early sixties Alistair Paterson has been writing poetry for 60 years in this country and for close on 30 years has been editing literary journals, encouraging and nurturing numerous literary talents. He is one of our most distinguished poets and editors, known internationally and respected by literary scenes in America, Australia, Europe and the UK. His open form anthology 15 Contemporary New Zealand Poets published by Grove Press, USA/Pilgrims South Press, Dunedin is in around 200 libraries worldwide according to WorldCat, the online library catalogue. Its one of the very few New Zealand anthologies to have succeeded overseas. In 1976, he organised American poet Robert Creeleys influential visit to New Zealand. In 2006, in recognition of his achievements, he received the ONZM for services to literature. Its both a privilege and a pleasure to be able to feature Alistairs work in broadsheet. I have included mostly new work by Paterson, along with one rare and uncollected poem, Song for Celia, which I came across recently in an old issue of Noel Hoggards Arena magazine, 1973. The Arena poem gives a sense of his earlier lyrical impulse, while Patersons new poems continue his contemporary concerns, philosophical, witty and highly intelligent. One poem has already appeared in the highly regarded Evergeen Review in America edited by former Grove Press publisher Barney Rosset. As well I commissioned an essay by Siobhan Harvey, one of our most thoughtful and observant critics. Her essay focuses on Patersons 1973 collection Birds Flying. Many of the books individual poems as Harvey points out continue to be well anthologised and have retained their power over nearly 40 years. As Harvey suggests: further overviews of the book and Patersons work are long overdue. Alongside Patersons poetry, Ive invited some of his friends to be in the issue with him. This is something unique to broadsheet. In the past Ive featured Louis Johnson, Ruth Gilbert and Harvey McQueen. Its nice to accord this sense of recognition to writers who have truly given their lifetime to literature. Johnson, Gilbert, McQueen and Paterson all fall into this category. Thanks to those who sent positive thoughts while I was putting together this issue of broadsheet. I appreciate your contribution to making this a special issue for Alistair and myself. Enjoy. Mark Pirie Wellington, November 2010 / 5 Raewyn Alexander W H A T I S A S T A R ? Oh now, a star like Madonna has glittery toothpaste of course and they sleep on a cloud not on a bed, while people follow them about and sell images for swimming pools and fast cars. Then if one sadly dies like Michael Jackson, well, complete strangers throw themselves at hairdressers and weep real gold, or silver, depending how much of a star the star was, naturally. Some stars forget what a drug really is, how it alters consciousness so much. Judy Garland was given pills as a child; then some forget taking too much can kill. Even if they know the dangers sober, drifted into a netherworld where facts are tricks instead. Karen Carpenter was anorexic and that killed her, well, her bro said she wouldve probably been that way with or without the fame. I think River Phoenix wouldve probably taken too many drugs with or without the fame, too. Not that we may ever know this, except I do have a phone line to heaven, but the line is down right now, and their call centre help-line is hell. 6 / Owen Bullock R U E S T D E N I S drinks his vin rouge speaking loudly to himself moves on, gesticulating to the next cafe bums a cigarette, tears off the filter, demands a lighter begins smoking, offers the lighter back on open palm, starts talking with the young couple at the table is still there...

Someone who is born and will die. (But not yet.) Im writing the narrative to go between your poems. And choosing them, which of them Australia will hear. One Sunday afternoon. Next year. Im writing down the events in your life. In order. To place you for the people who may (or may not) be listening to you. (I wont be mentioning your raw silk jacket, you standing in the rain, walking slowly together up Plimmer Steps, the way your eyes furrow, your shining pain.) Im writing down the events that may (or may not) have caused the poetry in your life. Or has the poetry caused the events? 8 / Im making it all neat like a poets life. It wont hurt. Its only a mauvais quart dheure. I need the money to build a fence for my two ponies, Gaylight and Tuppence. I did Dylan Thomas last year. And Sylvia Plath. I cant remember where the money went. Nobody ever listens to the programme anyway. Ive never met anyone who actually listens to the thing. Perhaps by mistake in a shearing shed out the back of Bourke or in the empty kitchen of a Paddington terrace, half heard. But Im writing about you as if you were a poet. Someone who has been done and can never be done again. Like James K. But repeated. For half the original fee. God bless you and keep you. I love you. I know you love me. / 9 Riemke Ensing F A N C I F U L , A P O C R Y P H A L , D E L E T E 1 (for Janet Wilson) In this biographical story2 , the date is set at 69, a Sunday in August and a late night hoolie at Tuwhares place. Plenty of kai and even the pungent mutton-birds, but the booze fast running out. While Davin is leaving, Brasch is coming up the stairs, carrying a keg of beer. Nothing here about greetings, passing the time of Landfall, a catching of old friends, just this incongruous image our gaunt, emaciated Hercules, worn thin to the point of pain, already labouringly under the weight of art, carrying a keg of beer? Yeah, right! Tui. 1 DMD: colleague and friend, David Mitchell, in Intimate Stranger Reminiscences of Dan Davin, edited by Janet Wilson, Steele Roberts, 2000, p.138.

The moon slides down in the west, reddens, and disappears into a raft of cloud. We move steadily south in a warm breeze off the land. Taranga slips away behind; Sail Rock is a black fist picked out in starlight. Steering on the steady flash from Cape Rodney as the Gulf opens up: Little Barrier, black on black, distant Moehau the edge of the known world. Stealing up on Auckland by night is a matter of lights. By day, its making the boat go faster. The breeze fills in, the boat heels, the tell-tales stream, and were checking the speed. Seven knots, seven-five; trimming and tuning; Tiri Passage draws us in, and weve a bone in our teeth.

  • Montague Harry Holcroft, 1902 – 1993
    150 Montague Harry Holcroft, 1902 – 1993 Stephen Hamilton Born in Rangiora on the South Island of New Zealand on 14 May 1902, Montague Harry Holcroft was the son of a grocer and his wife and the second of three boys. When his father’s business failed in 1917, he was forced to leave school and begin his working life in the office of a biscuit factory. Two years later he abandoned his desk in search of adventure, working on farms throughout New Zealand before crossing the Tasman Sea to Sydney, Australia in the company of his friend Mark Lund. Here he returned to office work and married his first wife, Eileen McLean, shortly before his 21st birthday. Within three years the marriage ended and Holcroft returned to New Zealand. However, during his sojourn in Sydney his emerging passion for writing had borne fruit in stories published in several major Australian magazines. With aspirations to become a successful fiction writer, he submitted a manuscript to London publisher John Long. Beyond the Breakers appeared in 1928. After a brief interlude on the staff of a failing Christchurch newspaper, he departed for London in late 1928 with a second novel stowed among his luggage. Despite having stories accepted by a number of British magazines, London proved unsympathetic to his efforts, even after a second novel, The Flameless Fire, appeared in 1929. After visiting France and North Africa, and with the Depression beginning to bite, Holcroft elected to again return to New Zealand. In Wellington in July 1931 he married Aralia Jaslie Seldon Dale.

    1 The celebrated poet Eileen Duggan and the influential editor J H E Schroder were among the early appreciators of Niel Wright’s verse. This selection draws on six decades of writing, 120 Books of Wright’s epic poem The Alexandrians as well as his Post-Alexandrian work, and displays an extraordinary and wide-ranging talent. Avoiding the narrow constraints of a regionalist poetry or the bohemian outlook of the Wellington group of poets, Wright has consistently forged his own path and poetic style since the 1950s often at odds with contemporary fashion and modernist/postmodernist tendencies. As with the English poet Robert Bridges, he has sought above all to renew the prosody. Skilled in many traditional forms such as the triolet, the epigram, the ballad, the ode, the sonnet and the lyric as well as classical and epic narrative verse, the selection presents for the first time a generous sampling of his prolific output and reveals his original and remarkable voice in New Zealand poetry. … a delight to see the classics revived in a comparatively new land and in an age alien to them. – Eileen Duggan, personal correspondence … a witty turn of phrase … – James K Baxter, New Zealand Listener … a poet of unusual range … Mr Wright’s use of prosody and his use of half-rhymes and assonances often recall those of Wilfred Owen. – Peter Dronke, Landfall … a pot-pourri of astonishing richness, lyrical in its presentation but with a strong narrative thread. – Michael Gifkins, New Zealand Listener 2 THE POP ARTISTS GARLAND Frank William Nielsen Wright was born in Sydenham, Christchurch, in 1933 and educated at Christchurch Boys High School and Canterbury University and Victoria University of Wellington (where he was awarded his PhD in 1974).

It discusses in detail the work of three poets whose public careers began in this period: Ian Wedde, Murray Edmond and Bill Manhire, Its perspective also necessitates the inclusion of one poet from either side of this chronological site: it opens by considering James K. Baxter and closes with a look at Leigh Davis. My focus is on the arrangement of pronouns, and on the way in which particular pronominal formations evolve through the work of these five poets.

  • The Early Poetry of Elizabeth Riddell (1907-1998)
    ka mate ka ora: a new zealand journal of poetry and poetics Issue 12 March 2013 Made in New Zealand: The Early Poetry of Elizabeth Riddell (1907-1998) Marcia Russell Editor’s Note: This essay is taken from Marcia Russell’s Master of Literature thesis (2012) at the University of Auckland. We are very pleased to have Marcia’s permission to publish this work. The whole project was to have been a Doctoral thesis and no one was better placed than Marcia, with her literary and journalistic expertise and understanding, to write about and recover for us the life and work, and especially the New Zealand context and origins, of Elizabeth Riddell, poet and journalist. Sadly Marcia died towards the end of 2012 and was unable to complete her undertaking. We are grateful to Marcia’s supervisors, Dr Jan Cronin and Professor Michele Leggott, for enabling this publication and to Heidi Logan for her copy editing on the text. - Murray Edmond 2 Part One: ‘A writing life but not a literary life’1 Elizabeth Richmond Riddell was born on 21 March 1907 in Napier, the second daughter of Violet Whitbread Riddell (nee Williams) and Richmond John Sydney Riddell. Her father was an accountant and solicitor for a Napier stock and station agency, her mother was the third of five children born to George and Emily Williams, all of Napier. Violet’s three sisters, Rose, Myra and Leslie all lived, like the Riddells, on the hills above Napier; the youngest sibling, Patrick, eventually married and settled in Wellington. Riddell’s paternal grandfather, George Riddell, who was the deputy-registrar in the Napier Lands and Deeds Registry, died unexpectedly while cycling to Western Spit on the Petane Road, the year before Riddell was born.
