James K. Baxter : Poems order quantity
  +   -
 
NZ$ 30.00 each
Hardback
Author: James K. Baxter (selected & introduced Sam Hunt)
Poet and performer Sam Hunt first became aware of the poems of James K Baxter as a schoolboy. Aged 14, he was strapped for reciting Baxter's poem 'Evidence at the Witch Trials' in an English lesson (one of the final in a series of events resulting in his expulsion from college). James K Baxter later became a friend and mentor who greatly influenced the unconventional poetic course Sam Hunt's life would take. Here, Hunt offers a selection of almost 50 poems by Baxter that have made an indelible impression on the grooves of his brain and tongue; poems he has lived with, road-tested and recited around New Zealand for more than 40 years. Hunt has included in the selection a range of the very familiar and the less familiar of Baxter's poems, dating from 1945 to 1972. In his substantial introduction, Hunt offers his memories of Jim Baxter and explains his selection. James K Baxter: Poems offers a fresh, uniquely personal look at the work of ... more

North South order quantity

NZ$ 35.00 each
Paperback
Author: Glenn Colquhoun (illus and hand lettered by Nigel Brown)
An extraordinary collaboration between two of New Zealand's most stirring and popular artists - poet Glenn Colquhoun & painter Nigel Brown. Nigel Brown creates a unique vision of Aotearoa New Zealand while revisiting and reinterpreting our past. In North South he goes deep into the tribal roots of our country's imagination. Glenn Colquhoun imagines the northern gods of his Celtic heritage engaging with the atua Maori of the south, and creates a new mythology for this country. Nigel Brown has handwritten and illustrated Glenn's words. The poems sprawl across the page to clash, bend and ultimately fuse traditional Celtic and Maori motifs, song forms and poetry.

Crest to Crest: Impressions of Canterbury Prose and Poetry order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 35.00 each
Paperback
Author: Karen Zelas (ed.) & Henry Zelas (photos)
Crest to Crest brings together a collection of writings about Canterbury, both past and present. 78 authors are included in the selection; some of them are known nationally and internationally for their work, others are still establishing their reputations. Some of the authors are still at school while others have reached their three score years, but all have one thing in common – they love writing and have in their own way been able to capture the spirit of the province. The collection includes not only poetry and short stories, but memoirs, creative non-fiction and even articles on Canterbury’s past.
Karen Zelas has divided the collection into Coast, City, Plains and High Country and
each has its special character examined through the writings. Subjects range from the birth of the province and glimpses of its earlier way of life to studies of the bush, birds mountains and coast which are so much part of the Canterbury ... more

Doubtless : New and Selected Poems order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 30.00 each
Paperback
Author: Sam Hunt
Sam Hunt is New Zealand's best-known poet. For almost 40 years he has been writing, reading and performing poetry, touring New Zealand constantly and reading his poems in pubs, theatres, schools and many other venues. No other poet in New Zealand has managed to make a living by performing their poems, and it says much about the affection with which Sam is regarded in New Zealand that he has continued to do this for so long. It is well over ten years since a new collection of Sam's poems has appeared and over 15 years since a volume of selected poems was published, so the publication of Doubtless is very timely. It includes new work as well a comprehensive selection of his best poems from the last 40 years, all of which are currently unavailable in print.
