Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lilting bees and unidentifiable birds, long-division problems and continental cornflakes: three remarkable voices arrive in AUP New Poets 8. In AUP New Poets 8, Lily Holloway, Tru Paraha, and Modi Deng come together to produce a volume of remarkable inventions and intoxications. Lily Holloway leads off with her collection 'a child in that alcove,' using an inventive approach to form to lead the reader into the ordinary extraordinary events of daily life, her poetry filling them with dazzle and dread, questions and memories. Then Tru Paraha takes us inside 'my darkling universe'—a world 'perpetually astral' and 'utterly spaghettified,' a poetic universe of unexpected letters and words and forms, where te reo Maori collides with atomic chemistry. Finally, Modi Deng travels through time and space into the lives of Brahms and backpackers, where uneasy conversations between mothers and children, between 'the subjects and myself,' between Beijing and London, provide beauty and solace. Three new voices, three compelling visions, all bound together in AUP New Poets 8.

Book excerpt: In poems by Sarah Lawrence, harold coutts and Arielle Walker, three fresh, vivid voices arrive.In ‘ Clockwatching' , Sarah Lawrence hurtles us into a world full of friends and homes and things, and wonders what they all might leave behind: ‘ If it' s toothache or budget / margarine or perhaps / another world altogether.' harold coutts' ‘ longing' reflects on gender (‘ if gender is a taste i am cutting out my tongue' ), bodies (‘ pubelessness' ) and the rest (‘ there isn' t a manual on when you' re writing someone a love poem and they break up with you' ). And in ‘ river poems' Arielle Walker steps right into the water – because ‘ a poem is a fluid thing all wrapped up in fish skin' – and finds stories of sealskins, harakeke and thistle, kanuka and manuka, alder and elder.Brimming with vivid beauty, the contemporary and the inflections of memory, AUP New Poets 9 shows just what new writing can open up.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The latest in the series, this fourth volume showcases poetry from three very disparate voices: Harry Jones, Erin Scudder, and Chris Tse. Harry Jones's flair for lyric is palpable in his accomplished and elegant poetry. Erin Scudder writes sophisticated, dark, and flavorful pieces that focus on the sound and shape of words. Personal and universal at the same time, her work is specific yet interested in archetypes and tropes. Chris Tse draws from his family history and Chinese heritage to produce fascinating narrative poems. Tse's great grandparents' emigration to New Zealand and his own childhood experiences became sources of inspiration for the third poet in this compilation.

Download or read book Star Waka written by Robert Sullivan and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published on the cusp of the new millennium, Maori poet Robert Sullivan's third book of poems, Star Waka, explores themes of journeying and navigation, moving back and forth in time and focus to confront colonisation, contemporary political issues and personal questions of family and identity. It came with some strings attached: each poem had to feature either a star, a waka (canoe) or the ocean. Within these parameters, and in 2001 lines, Sullivan creates 100 poems that, he says, themselves function like a waka: &‘members of the crew change, the rhythm and the view changes &– it is subject to the laws of nature'.
Download or read book Out Here written by Emma Barnes and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-11 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable anthology of queer New Zealand voices. We became teenagers in the nineties when New Zealand felt a lot less cool about queerness and gender felt much more rigid. We knew instinctively that hiding was the safest strategy. But how to find your community if you're hidden? Aotearoa is a land of extraordinary queer writers, many of whom have contributed to our rich literary history. But you wouldn't know it. Decades of erasure and homophobia have rendered some of our most powerful writing invisible. Out Here will change that. This landmark book brings together and celebrates queer New Zealand writers from across the gender and LGBTQIA+ spectrum with a generous selection of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and much, much more. From established names to electrifying newcomers, the cacophony of voices brought together in Out Here sing out loud and proud, ensuring that future generations of queers are afforded the space to tell their stories and be themselves without fear of retribution or harm.
Download or read book Best New Poets 2013 written by Brenda Shaughnessy and published by Best New Poets. This book was released on 2014-01-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for earlier editions:"[These poets] prove that American poetry has the strength and vision to move beyond the MFA environment in order to reshape and reflect past traditions."-- Bloomsbury Review "This collection stands out among the crowd claiming to represent emergent poets. Much of the editing and preliminary reading was done by emerging poets themselves, which results in an anthology that's fresh and eclectic, and may actually represent a significant portion of the best new poetry being written by the next generation.... [Best New Poets] assures the reader that poetry, even in a generation of text messaging and MP3 players, is still alive and well. The youthfulness of the anthology, combined with the wide scope of its contents, is apparent in the poems, which are edgy and daring."-- Virginia Quarterly Review Entering its eighth year, Best New Poets has established itself as a crucial venue for rising poets and a valuable resource for poetry lovers. The only publication of its kind, this annual anthology is made up exclusively of work by writers who have not yet published a full-length book. The poems included in this eclectic sampling represent the best from the many that have been nominated by the country’s top literary magazines and writing programs, as well as some two thousand additional poems submitted through an open online competition. The work of the fifty writers represented here provides the best perspective available on the continuing vitality of poetry as it is being practiced today.
