Download or read book Tigers at Awhitu written by Sarah Broom and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against a backdrop of many times and landscapes, the poems in Tigers at Awhitu , the first, luminous book by Sarah Broom, chart the drifts and tides of intimate relationships, the physical extremes of illness, the complexities of motherhood. Here a refugee family walks north on a frozen road; a solitary figure sleeps in the desert outside a fabular city; a mother watches a child's first gesture. With tough, deft attention to language and its emotional power, Sarah Broom asks us to consider our relationships with the world and with words. Hers is an unflinching and original new voice in New Zealand poetry.
Download or read book Gleam written by Sarah Broom and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these 40 powerful new poems, Sarah Broom explores the effect of a life-threatening condition by way of the landscapes of the natural world, charting the hardest things in beautiful language. Broom's forte is in encapsulating, expressing, and making sense of strong internal feeling and turmoil through metaphor, and in Gleam, her poems bring together heightened emotion, a robust sense of the physical body, and an external landscape in controlled, sinewy language. In the title poem, she charts a radiotherapy session in both physical and metaphoric terms: &“there are avenues of light / and now there is a wide and open terrain, my brain / is a vast, hilly country.&” This impressive collection examines basic human truths with clarity and force and will open out painful, rewarding vistas for its readers.

Download or read book Who Is Mary Sue written by Sophie Collins and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the language of fan fiction, a 'Mary Sue' is an idealised and implausibly flawless character: a female archetype that can infuriate audiences for its perceived narcissism.Such is the setting for this brilliant and important debut by Sophie Collins. In a series of verse and prose collages, Who Is Mary Sue? exposes the presumptive politics behind writing and readership: the idea that men invent while women reflect; that a man writes of the world outside while a woman will turn to the interior.Part poetry and part reportage, at once playful and sincere, these fictive-factive miniatures deploy original writing and extant quotation in a mode of pure invention. In so doing, they lift up and lay down a revealing sequence of masks and mirrors that disturb the reflection of authority.A work of captivation and correction, this is a book that will resonate with anyone concerned with identity, shame, gender, trauma, composition and culture: everyone, in other words, who wishes to live openly and think fearlessly in the modern world. Who Is Mary Sue? is a work for our times and a question for our age: it is a handbook for all those willing to reimagine prescriptive notions of identity and selfhood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dinah and her sister Lisa are growing up in 1950s South Africa, where racial laws are tightening. They are two little girls from a dissenting liberal family. Big sister Lisa is strong and sensible, while Dinah is weedy and arty. At school, the sadistic Mrs Vaughan-Jones is providing instruction in mental arithmetic and racial prejudice. And then there's the puzzle of lunch break. "Would you rather have a native girl or a koelie to make your sandwiches?" a first-year classmate asks. But Dinah doesn't know the answer, because it's her dad who makes her sandwiches. As the apparatus of repression rolls on, Dinah finds her own way. As we follow her journey through childhood and adolescence, we enter into one of the darker passages of twentieth-century history.

Download or read book Full Broken Bloom written by Grace Teuila Evelyn Taylor and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-22 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Full Broken Bloom is Grace Teuila Evelyn Taylor's second collection of poetry. Full Broken Bloom is altar-building, moon-swallowing, jawbone-slicing, and goddess-making. Bleeding. Forgiving. And re-fleshing dead bones. In her second offering from Ala Press, Grace Teuila Evelyn Taylor swallows worlds of pain and betrayal. Yet from the dust and ashes emerge womyn who stand naked in front of mirrors and spill. Womyn who can taste fear. Womyn who dare readers to fall. Mothers, daughters, lovers, and makers more feverish than myth. ... This collection has hope and vision. No'u Revilla (Hawai'i) This is the landscape of love, te whenua o te aroha, a fraught terrain with every contour, every valley, every lofty height explored, each aspect given thorough inspection, the rough with the smooth, the harsh with the beautiful, ... the distance of ending, the immense promise of beginning. And if all it was, this collection, this body, this BODY of work, was a navigation of such terrain it would be perfectly adequate. But her name is Grace, and she is a woman of far greater depth. Listen to her lilt, her cheek, her rage and her glory, here is a woman, a mother, a lover, a poet, a storyteller, a fighter, ultimately a human, subject and willing to every sense and so able to convey. Ben Brown (Aotearoa)
