It would appear to them, perhaps, that two or three rather good poets have emerged from these islands. So good, in fact, that their appearance in any anthology of Common• wealth poetry would make for a matter of rather pleasurable comment and would certainly not lower the general stand• ard of the book. I'll come back to these two or three poets presently, but let us first consider the question of New Zealand's prose writers.

Her work is legendary — her Collected Stories (Constable) goes from reprint to reprint, and indeed, pirate printings are being shovelled off to the priting mills now that her fifty year copyright protection has run out.

The 2015 lecture was significant for three reasons: firstly, it was a key part of the wonderful Dunedin Writers and Readers Festival – one of Australasia’s stellar festival events. Secondly, the lecture took place at Dunedin’s first literary festival as a UNESCO City of Literature, which is well-deserved recognition of the city’s past and present as an extraordinary place of words and writers. Last – but certainly not least – we were privileged to have Witi Ihimaera deliver the lecture, one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most acclaimed writers.

  • On Monday 3 December 2007 I Drove Down to Kaka Point to Talk with Hone Tuwhare About Bill Person
    ka mate ka ora: a new zealand journal of poetry and poetics Issue 8 September 2009 Hunt’s Baxter Francis McWhannell I didn’t know Then how short life is – how few The ones who really touch us (‘Words to Lay a Strong Ghost’, 1966) It is a little over 83 years since James Keir Baxter was born. Today, he is one of Aotearoa’s more familiar cultural personages (along with such figures as Janet Frame and Colin McCahon) and one of our few widely recognised poets, represented in the majority of twentieth century New Zealand verse anthologies and in many international English-language equivalents. Indeed, Baxter has in this country assumed the status of icon (with all the ambiguity that this implies). Had he not died in 1972, Baxter would no doubt have something to say about his present fame – he was an astute and prolific commentator, and an uncommonly self-conscious one. As it is, we-the-living are steadily turning out Baxter-based publications, James K. Baxter: Poems (Auckland University Press, 2009), selected and introduced by Sam Hunt, being just one recent example. I first learned of Hunt’s selection of Baxter when visiting a favourite Auckland bookshop. The handsome little publication was displayed in precisely the same spot as had been occupied some months before by another attractive hardback, Hunt’s own Doubtless: New & Selected Poems (Craig Potton, 2008). This latter I had purchased without hesitation. Despite wide popularity and saleability, Hunt’s poetry has of late been rather hard to get hold of. The demise of Hazard Press of Christchurch has effectively rendered Hunt’s Making Tracks: A Selected 50 Poems (1991) out of print, and second hand copies of his predominantly paperback collections are scarce, especially in good condition.

  • Waikato-Tainui and Ngāi Tahu's Treaty Settlement Negotiations With
    Balancing rangatiratanga and kawanatanga: Waikato-Tainui and Ngāi Tahu’s Treaty settlement negotiations with the Crown Martin Fisher A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Victoria University of Wellington 2015 i ii Abstract Waikato-Tainui and Ngāi Tahu’s negotiations with the Crown produced the first two major iwi-based agreements of the modern era of Treaty settlements in New Zealand/Aotearoa. While the existing historiography has previously addressed the general parameters of each agreement, and some key players have briefly written about their involvement in the process, an analysis of both negotiations through the lens of the iwi (tribe) pursuit of rangatiratanga (or self-determination) and the Crown’s defence of its sovereignty and kawanatanga (or governance) increases our understanding of these precedent-setting Treaty settlements. Māori rangatiratanga and Crown sovereignty and governance were not the only factors that drove all parties in their negotiations, but they represented the dominant motivating force in terms of reaching agreements on very difficult issues. Through an investigation of Ngāi Tahu, Waikato-Tainui, Crown and public sources, this thesis identifies the balancing of iwi rangatiratanga and the Crown’s sovereignty and kawanatanga in four major areas of the process: the development of iwi governance systems post-settlement, the negotiation of the financial aspects of the settlement, the parameters surrounding the return of land, and the formulation of the historical accounts and Crown apologies. The political structures set by the Crown to govern the process influenced all aspects of the negotiation.

  • Māori Opposition to Fossil Fuel Extraction in Aotearoa New Zealand
    MĀORI OPPOSITION TO FOSSIL FUEL DEVELOPMENT IN AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND ZOLTÁN GROSSMAN The Evergreen State College, Olympia, Washington Opposition has intensified in the past five years in Aotearoa New Zealand to foreign corporate deep-sea oil exploration, which opponents view as a threat to fisheries, beaches, tourism, marine mammals, and climate stability. Opponents fear that an oil spill the scale of the Exxon or BP disasters would overwhelm the country’s economy and government’s capacity for clean-up. Despite interest in oil revenues from a few local Māori leaders, growing numbers of Māori are beginning to view oil drilling as a challenge to the Treaty of Waitangi, and proclaim that “Aotearoa is Not for Sale.” I visited Aotearoa for two months earlier this year, as part of my study abroad class “Native Decolonization in the Pacific Rim: From the Northwest to New Zealand,” which I have taught this past year (with my colleague Kristina Ackley) at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington.1 We joined fifteen of our undergraduate students, half of them Indigenous and half non-Native, in the journey to visit Māori and Pasifika (Pacific Islander) communities throughout North Island, and to conduct research projects comparing Pacific Northwest treaty rights and tribal sovereignty to the Treaty of Waitangi and Māori self-determination. It was the second class we took to Aotearoa, building on previous exchanges of Indigenous artists through our campus Longhouse, and graduate students through our Tribal Master’s of Public Administration program. When the students were off doing their projects, and I was visiting with them, I conducted my own research on Māori alliances with Pākehā (European settlers) in the movement against oil drilling, as well as the political intersections between fossil fuel extraction and Māori decolonization.

  • Janet Frame Lecture 2011
    JANET FRAME LECTURE 2011 Warm Greetings: In this, the 2011 Janet Frame lecture, I wish to talk about the short but astonishingly successful history of children’s literature in this country; but before I do that, I’d like to thank the New Zealand Society of Authors for their generosity. As you may know, the Janet Frame lecture, is delivered by the Honorary President of the Society. I assure you I have done nothing to earn this title apart from being one of the oldest members of the NZSA. In the 1960s, we were part of the global PEN and we are still affiliated with PEN; and I was nominated for membership by Monte Holcroft, editor of the NZ Listener, on the strength of two short stories. The account of my first PEN meeting is recorded in the memoir Navigation, but I’ll mention it again here. I was a somewhat shy young woman, a farmers wife with four small children, and Mr Holcroft had said I should attend the December PEN meeting. I went by train from Palmerston North to Wellington, found The Terrace and the venue in Wakefield House, and hesitantly walked in. The room was full of voices and tobacco smoke, with most people around a bar at the other end. Mr Holcroft was not there. I knew no one and no one knew me. I stood in the middle of the room for perhaps a minute, feeling like a goldfish that had jumped her bowl, then decided to go back to the railway station and wait for a train home.
