Download or read book AUP New Poets 8 written by Lily Holloway and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-16 with total page 116 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book AUP New Poets 4 written by Harry Jones and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 100 pages. 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 No Other Place to Stand written by Essa Ranapiri and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2022-07-14 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What, then, for the work of poetry? It's at the very periphery of popular speech, niche even among the arts, yet it's also rooted in the most ancient traditions of oral storytelling, no matter where your ancestors originate from. And, as we were reminded by an audience member at the New Zealand Young Writers Festival in 2020, who are we to say poetry cannot change the world?A poem may not be a binding policy or strategic investment, but poems can still raise movements, and be moving in their own right. And there is no movement in our behaviours and politics without a shift in hearts and minds. Whether the poems you read here are cloaked in ironic apathy or bare their hearts in rousing calls to action, they all arise from a deep sense of care for this living world and the people in it.Our poets are eulogists and visionaries, warriors and worriers. Most of all, they're ordinary people prepared to sit and stare at a blank page, trying to do something with the bloody big troubles looming over our past, present and future.— from the introduction by the editors

Download or read book Bloody Woman written by Lana Lopesi and published by Bridget Williams Books. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bloody Woman is bloody good writing. It moves between academic, journalistic and personal essay. I love that Lana moves back and forward across these genres: weaving, weaving – spinning the web, weaving the sparkling threads under our hands, back and forward across a number of spaces, pulling and holding the tensions, holding up the baskets of knowledge. Tusiata Avia This wayfinding set of essays, by acclaimed writer and critic Lana Lopesi, explores the overlap of being a woman and Sāmoan. Writing on ancestral ideas of womanhood appears alongside contemporary reflections on women's experiences and the Pacific. These essays lead into the messy and the sticky, the whispered conversations and the unspoken. As Lopesi writes, 'Bloody Woman has been scary to write... In putting words to my years of thinking, following the blood and revealing the evidence board in my mind, I am breaking a silence to try to understand something. It feels terrifying, but right.' These acts of self-revelation ultimately seek to open up new spaces, to acknowledge the narratives not yet written, and the voices to come.
