Chch Star Poets Index and Notes
Supplement to broadsheet: new new zealand poetry no. 12 Index to the Star Poets of Christchurch 1922-26 and Field Notes by Mark Pirie (Includes notes on poets: Bessie L Heighton, Una Auld/Una Currie, Ida M Lough/Ida M Withers, R D Brown, T E L Roberts, H H Heatley, H S Gipps, A Stanley Sherratt, Beryl Windsor, Grace Ross, E A Irwin, W J McKellow, Dorothy Reed, E F Owen, Aline Dunn, Sadie Uanson, G R Butler, Honor Gordon Coster/Honor Gordon Holmes, Pearl Noonan and H Tillman) Published by The Night Press, Wellington ISSN 1178-7805 (Print) ISSN 1178-7813 (Online) Publisher’s Note This supplement to the special issue of broadsheet, no. 12, includes the full index to the Star Poets of Christchurch 1922-26 and the stats relating to their contributions to The Star. 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. -

J.C. Sturm – Before the Silence: an Exploration of Her Early Writing
J. C. STURM: BEFORE THE SILENCE An exploration of her early writing By Margaret Erica Michael A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In English Literature Victoria University of Wellington 2013 2 Table of Contents Abstract 3 Acknowledgements 5 Chapter 1: Introduction 6 Chapter 2: J. C. Sturm: Social Informer – “An unequal and discomforted world” 27 Chapter 3: J. C. Sturm: Woman Writer – “Writing against the current” 41 Chapter 4: J. C. Sturm: Maori Writer – “A way of feeling” 58 Chapter 5: “The Long Forgetting” 71 Bibliography 84 3 Abstract This thesis considers the early works of J. C. Sturm, her own thesis, her short stories, articles and book reviews written in the 1950s before her writing and publishing silence. It examines where this writing places her in context of the post-Second World War period and where it could have placed her in the New Zealand literary canon had it not been for her ensuing literary silence. The first chapter briefly discusses the nature of literary silences and then introduces Sturm with some biographical information. It details the approach that I take writing the thesis using three readings of her works: as social informer; as woman writer; and as Maori writer. These readings inform my commentary on her work and attempt to place her in the literary canon of the fifties. I discuss my reservations, as a Pakeha, in approaching Sturm as a Maori writer. I use Sturm’s own comments “that many literary works can be taken as social documents and many authors can be taken as social informers” as a licence to use Sturm herself as “social informer”. -

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 Robert J Pope (1865-1949) was a well- known Wellington poet, cricketer and songwriter in his day and till the end of the 1940s he held a reputation as a national songwriter for his school song New Zealand, My Homeland but today, his work is little known and out of print. 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.

New Zealand Compiled and Introduced by Kirstine Moffat University of Waikato Introduction 2008 Saw the Passing of Two Well-Loved
New Zealand Compiled and introduced by Kirstine Moffat University of Waikato Introduction 2008 saw the passing of two well-loved and critically acclaimed New Zealand poets: Hone Tuwhare (1922-2008) and Ruth Dallas (1919-2008). Among his many literary awards, Tuwhare earned the Prime Minister‘s Award for Literary Achievement, the Te Mata New Zealand Poet Laureateship, and honorary doctorates from Otago and Auckland Universities. Speaking of Tuwhare‘s enduring legacy Robert Sullivan writes: I use the term work for Tuwhare‘s oeuvre because he was brilliantly and humbly aware of his role as a worker, part of a greater class and cultural struggle. His humility is also deeply Māori, and firmly places him as a rangatira of people and poets. It goes without saying that this tribute acknowledges the passing of a very (which adverb to use here – greatly? hugely? extraordinarily?) significant New Zealand poet, and the first Māori author of a literary collection to be published in English. No Ordinary Sun was published by Blackwood and Janet Paul in September 1964. In September 2008, it is an understatement to say that New Zealand Māori literature in English has spread beyond its national boundaries, and that many writers, Māori and non-Māori, stand on Tuwhare‘s shoulders (―Hone Tuwhare‘s Aroha‖ Hone Tuwhare Special Issue:Ka Mate Ka Ora: A New Zealand Journal of Poetry and Poetics, p4). Tuwhare‘s life and poetry are celebrated in a Special Issue of Ka Mate Ka Ora: A New Zealand Journal of Poetry and Poetics and by an extended tribute to ―An Extraordinary Poet‖ by Robert Sullivan in Kunapipi: Journal of Postcolonial Writing. -

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).
