    The Writing Life Twelve New Zealand Authors DEBORAH SHEPARD

    Intelligent, relevant books for intelligent, inquiring readers The Writing Life Twelve New Zealand Authors DEBORAH SHEPARD CANDID CONVERSATIONS WITH 12 WRITERS WHO HELPED SHAPE NEW ZEALAND LITERATURE A unique, candid and intimate survey of the life and work of 12 of our most acclaimed writers: Patricia Grace, Tessa Duder, Owen Marshall, Philip Temple, David Hill, Joy Cowley, Vincent O’Sullivan, Albert Wendt, Marilyn Duckworth, Chris Else, Fiona Kidman and Witi Ihimaera. Constructed as Q&As with experienced oral historian Deborah Shepard, they offer a marvellous insight into their careers. As a group they are now the ‘elders’ of New Zealand literature; they forged the path for the current generation. Together the authors trace their publishing and literary history from 1959 to 2018, through what might now be viewed as a golden era of publishing into the more unsettled climate of today. They address universal themes: the death of parents and loved ones, the good things that come with ageing, the components of a satisfying life, and much more. And they give advice on writing. The book has an historical continuity, showing fruitful and fascinating links $49.99 between individuals who have negotiated the same literary terrain for more than sixty years. To further honour them are magnificent photo portraits by CATEGORY: New Zealand Non Fiction distinguished photographer John McDermott, commissioned by the publisher ISBN: 978-0-9951095-3-7 for this project. eISBN: n/a ABOUT THE AUTHOR BIC: BGL, DSK, 1MBN BISAC: LCO020000, BIO007000 Deborah Shepard is an author, teacher of memoir, oral historian and film PUBLISHER: Massey University Press and art historian.

The Myth ofSisyphus, by Albert Camus iii Abstract A World Like This: Existentialism in New Zealand Literature Literary existentialism has evolved unevenly in New Zealand since the late-nineteenth century. In this thesis I will define and trace the pre-existentialism of the early pioneers and settlers, which originally emerged as a Victorian expression of their experiences in an unpredictable new environment. Then I will describe how during the 1930s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s some of their descendants modified their world-view with ideas popularly associated with French literary existentialism, including notions about the individual's freedom and responsibility to act in an unrnediated universe.

    A Survey of Recent New Zealand Writing TREVOR REEVES

    A Survey of Recent New Zealand Writing TREVOR REEVES O achieve any depth or spread in an article attempt• ing to cover the whole gamut of New Zealand writing * must be deemed to be a New Zealand madman's dream, but I wonder if it would be so difficult for people overseas, particularly in other parts of the Commonwealth. 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. Ah yes, we have, or had, Kath• erine Mansfield, who died exactly fifty years ago. 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. But Katherine Mansfield never was a "New Zealand writer" as such. She left early in the piece. But how did later writers fare, internationally speaking? It was Janet Frame who first wrote the long awaited "New Zealand Novel." Owls Do Cry was published in 1957. A rather cruel but incisive novel, about herself (everyone has one good novel in them), it centred on her own childhood experiences in Oamaru, a small town eighty miles north of Dunedin -— a town in which rough farmers drove sheep-shit-smelling American V-8 jalopies inexpertly down the main drag — where the local "bikies" as they are now called, grouped in vociferous RECENT NEW ZEALAND WRITING 17 bunches outside the corner milk bar.

    The Christch~rch Writers' Trail I The Christchurch c 3 mitersy&ai1 Page 1 Introduction 2 Writers Biographies Lady Barker e Canterbury Settlement, right from 1850, was notable for its exalted ideals. The @settlement's early colonists lugged ashore libraries, musical instruments, paints, Samuel Butler William Pember Reeves easels and plans for a grammar school and university. Within the first decade they Edith Grossmann started a newspaper, founded choral and orchestral societies, staged plays and Jessie Mackay started a public library. A surprising number of these pioneers were competent Arnold Wall writers. The published memoirs, letters, journals and poetry left by Charlotte Godley, Blanche Bau han Edward and Crosbie Ward, James FitzGerald, Henry Sewell, Sarah Courage, Laurence Johannes An 8ersen Kennaway, Lady Barker, Samuel Butler and other "pilgrims" established a robust Mary Ursula Bethell literary tradition in Canterbury, particularly in non-fiction and poetry. From the Alan Mulgan 1930s to the early 1950s, during Denis Glover's association with The Caxton Press, Esther Glen Oliver Duff Christchurch was indisputably the focal point of New Zealand's artistic life. The N~aioMarsh town's cultural and literary importance - about 280 writers are listed in this booklet D Arcy Cresswell in a record which is by no means definitive - continues to this day.

    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.
