The Frame Function : An Inside-out Guide to the Novels of Janet Frame Cronin, Jan S Auckland, N.Z.: Auckland University Press, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 1), New York, 2013

From Owls do Cry to The Carpathians, the novels of Janet Frame have challenged our understanding of what fiction does. The Frame Function is a guide for those who are intrigued, stimulated, sometimes baffled by Frame's powerful novels. In The Frame Function, Jan Cronin traces the operation of a prescriptive authorial presence within the novels to offer an engaging'inside-out'guide to a great writer's work. Drawing on Frame's personal and professional correspondence and the dynamic between that Frame and the various Frames of the novels, Cronin explores key issues: Frame's relationship with her readers; the nature of the'difficulty'the novels present; and the questions of intentionality Frame's work forces us to address. Each chapter offers readers a tour of one or more Frame novels: how they work; how Frame writes; and the impact these fundamentals have on readers interpreting and engaging with her work. Readers of Frame's books frequently sense the presence of some kind of puzzle to be solved but can't quite distil its parameters. The Frame Function takes as its starting point this capacity of Frame's texts to lure the reader into looking for solutions while simultaneously deterring such behaviour. In crafting a portrait of Frame's compositional processes, Cronin provides new insights into the underlying relationship between prescriptiveness and elusiveness in Frame's work.

The Drummer Wedde, Ian Auckland, N.Z.: Auckland University Press, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 1), Auckland, 2013

The Drummer is Ian Wedde's eighth collection and it is plump with exquisite visual images, lost faith in language, revelations of intense beauty and literary allusions (from the Romantics to the New Zealand tradition). This is what the author writes about his collection:'The word'transport'seems to me to describe an event anywhere between a bus-trip and a vision. The dogged example of Odysseus in one margin, the raptures of language in another. The bliss of movement, the transport of dreams. The word romance is uniting gravity and desire. It is the romance I wanted for poems and these are the few poems that got there.'

The mother of all departments : the history of the Department of International Affairs Michael Gwyn Bassett Auckland University Press in association with the Historical Branch, Dept. of Internal Affairs, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 1), New York, 2013

Sir Joseph Heenan, the most illustrious of all its secretaries, called the Department of Internal Affairs'the mother of all departments'. A rather more earthy Australian friend of his called it the'guts department'. In a sense, both were right. Written with liveliness and colour, illustrated with photographs, anecdotes and rich detail, The Mother of All Departments brings to life the history of the first and most important agency of government in nineteenth-century New Zealand. It traces the evolution of the Department of Internal Affairs from its genesis as the Colonial Secretary's Office in 1840 to the present day. Having spawned the Public Works, Justice, Health, Housing and Social Welfare departments it nonetheless still retains an extraordinary array of functions, each a small but integral part of a smoothly running democracy. Internal Affairs plays a significant role in some of the controversial issues of our day including citizenship, the reform of local government, royal visits, and the regulation of gambling and lotteries.

Dear Sweet Harry Jenner, Lynn Auckland, N.Z.: Auckland University Press, Independent Publishers Group, Auckland, N.Z., 2010

A collage of interlinked stories and items, this unique collection of poetry ties the author's own family history with that of famous escapologist Harry Houdini and spy Mata Hari. Set during World War I, this volume delves into seemingly unrelated topics, such as the Jewish émigré experience, amateur radio, a recipe for cough mixture, and writer Katherine Mansfield, and captures the period flavor of those more innocent times. Thematically interested in courageous attempts and escapes, this offbeat, yet charming compilation is an innovative addition to New Zealand literature.

Case studies aid in the exploration of this largely unstoppable but governable force in the world today.

Diesel mystic : a novel Gregory O'brien Auckland, N.Z.: Auckland University Press, Auckland, N.Z, 1989

In the fabulous and exotic setting of small-town New Zealand, Diesel Mystic follows the amazing experiences of a 17-year-old narrator who drives constantly backwards and forwards between Dargaville and Ruawai accompanied at times by an imaginary woman. Through his mystified and romantic eyes we discover the eccentric region of the far north. We come upon a performance of Swan Lake afloat - temporarily - on the Northern Wairoa River, an upside-down cathedral, a volcano spewing forth household appliances; we encounter a whisky marmalade priest, a levitating bride, and a diesel mechanic who realises his own spiritual aspirations. The appearance of the imaginary woman blurs the distinction between inner and outer reality and sends the narrator on a youthful search for meaning. The author's drawings weave back and forth within the text giving a magic quality to an exciting work of the imagination. This is a lively, amusing and unconventional first novel.

Zone of the Marvellous : In Search of the Antipodes Edmond, Martin Auckland, N.Z.: Auckland University Press, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 1), Auckland, N.Z., 2009

He's constantly demonstrating that the natural world is as splendiferous as any fable.'- Jim Shepard, New York Times New Zealand and Australia were imagined thousands of years before they became real. From Plato's Atlantis to Dante's Mount Purgatory, Sinbad the Sailor to Abel Tasman, travellers, writers, map-makers, charlatans and rogues dreamed of other worlds at the back of the sun. In Zone of the Marvellous Martin Edmond recounts the fantastic history of the antipodes in the Western imagination. Edmond tells the stories of Gilgamesh, seeking immortality on the other side of the Waters of Death, and Ptolemy, inventing a Great South Land to balance the weight of northern-hemisphere continents. He traces the invention underlying truth in the tales of Marco Polo and the equivocal John Mandeville; and the fact underlying fiction in Thomas More's Utopia. Along the way he wonders if Tasman's dour puritanical character is somehow mirrored in aspects of the New Zealand psyche - and if the Australian character might resemble that of the old pyrating dog and three-times circumnavigator William Dampier, insouciant larrikin and freedom-monger. Shining with intellectual breadth and imaginative reach, Zone of the Marvellous is one person's trawl through the detritus of the past five millennia. Edmond unfolds his inquiry with a weather eye for the always fertile intertwining of fact and fiction that makes up what we call history; for the moments of wonder and wild surmise that invented our Land of Gold, our Great South Land, our Antipodes; and for the sense and the resonant non-sense that keep alive our feeling for the marvellous.

Country of Writing : Writing Travel and Travel Writing About New Zealand 1809–1935 Wevers, Dr. Lydia Auckland, N.Z.: Auckland University Press, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 1), Auckland, N.Z., 2002

This pioneering examination of travel writing about New Zealand in the colonial period discusses a wide range of writing that helped place New Zealand on the literary map, while providing an oblique history of the young nation in the 19th century. Exploring early newspaper accounts; the journals of missionaries, traders, and adventurers; and the guidebooks and specialized descriptions of fishing, and hunting, which promoted New Zealand as a sporting paradise, Wevers finds that writing about New Zealand was an essential tool in the colonization process.

Don Binney : ngā manu/ngā motu = birds/islands Damian Skinner; Studio La Gonda Auckland, N.Z.: Auckland University Press, Auckland, N.Z, New Zealand, 2003

Don Binney is a well-known and popular New Zealand artist whose signature paintings of bird and landscape, in strong lines and gorgeous colours, are instantly recognisable. These confident celebratory paintings first appeared in the 1960s and brilliantly captured the mood of the times, seeming to express a distinctive New Zealand identity. As a young artist he met speedy success and critical acclaim.Though this adulation faded, Binney's work did not stop here: increasingly interested in landscape itself, he painted islands, beaches, headlands; and later pursued collage and sign, experimenting with different media. His most recent paintings link back to those of the 1960s but show a sureness of touch and the maturity of a lifetime's preoccupation with the natural world and with space and mystery.In this book Damian Skinner places the focus firmly on the paintings themselves, choosing 75 paintings in full colour to represent the entire range of the artist's remarkable achievement. A lively and revealing interview with Binney is preceded by an introductory essay which sets his work in the wider context of New Zealand twentieth-century art. Also including a chronology and selected bibliography this book is designed to reintroduce and to reevaluate a major artist.

The Tram Conductor's Blue Cap Harlow, Michael Auckland, N.Z.: Auckland University Press, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 1), New York, 2013

Poetry, Michael Harlow writes, is when words sing. In The Tram Conductor's Blue Cap, words do sing; they also shout and whisper, riddle and recur, express and evade. Though these poems are often allegorical and philosophical, the real underlies the imagined (while the imagination invents the real), so we meet a stranger in the Oyster Bar at Grand Central, we travel to Athens and Mexico and Troy, we hear from Sappho, Marco Polo, Cavafy and Emily Dickinson. And at the centre of the collection is a tram conductor,'inside a story that dreams / him'. As a habit of imagination, these poems circle and cultivate patience, anticipation, memory, opportunity, delight and regret. Fans of Harlow's previous, accomplished collection, Cassandra's Daughter, will be thrilled to find this poet in assured voice: building up'one word one word and then / another, waiting for the light to come / stealing in'.

Sir Joseph Ward : A Political Biography Michael Bassett Auckland University Press; Oxford University Press, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 1), New York, 2013

Sir Joseph Ward (1856-1930) was the leading political figure during the forty-year life of the Liberal Party in New Zealand. He was a member of Ballance's first Cabinet, twice Prime Minister (1906-12 and 1928-30), and was still a Cabinet Minister at the time of his death. This lively biography is the story of an ambitious first-generation New Zealander of Irish Catholic parents who spent more than half a century in local and central government politics, influencing the directions taken in many areas of New Zealand life. It contains much new material about Ward's private business dealings, his flourishing Southland company, his bankruptcy and his remarkable rehabilitation. Michael Bassett reveals a genial, courteous, fast-talking man of vision who nevertheless experienced difficulty adapting to a changing world. Bassett writes with the insight into political life of a former cabinet minister.

Carved histories : Rotorua Ngāti Tarawhai woodcarving Roger Neich, Joe Malcolm, Joseph Te Poroa Malcolm Auckland, N.Z.: Auckland University Press, Auckland, N.Z, New Zealand, 2001

In this book Roger Neich follows his earlier study, Painted Histories, with an account and analysis of the major tradition of Maori woodcarving. The Ngati Tarawhai woodcarvers of the Rotorua district have maintained a continuous distinctive style of carving from pre-European times to the present day. As the most prolific and one of the most influential schools of Maori carvers in New Zealand, they have played a critical role in the whole modern history of the development and survival of Maori carving. With the establishment of the government-sponsored Rotorua School of Maori Art in 1928, it was a Ngati Tarawhai carver, Eramiha Kapua, who became the main tutor and helped his traditional tribal art to make the transition into a modern 'national' art.<h3>CHOICE</h3>Focused in its subject.

The archaeology of the Pouerua Louise Furey, Douglas Sutton, Yvonne Marshall Auckland University Press ; Eurospan, Auckland, N.Z, New Zealand, 2003

"This is an important book in New Zealand archaeology and the major publication to merge from the Pouerua Project, a significant archaeological initiative of the 1980s which examined the diverse and rich Maori archaeological landscape surrounding Pouerua, a prominent and extensive pa on a volcanic cone in the inland Bay of Islands, Northland. Following two earlier publications on the undefended sites and smaller pa, this much larger book studies Pouerua itself in meticulous detail. Precise surface mapping was combined with large-scale excavations to reveal evidence of small everyday events; with innovative analytical techniques, this information was used to build up a picture of the process of construction and occupation on the cone as a whole. More importantly there has been an attempt to explore and understand the social and political role of the pa within a wider physical landscape and over an extended period. The investigation revealed Pouerua as a fluid site with different functions changing over time; not a place of permanent settlement but rather an example of monumental architecture, a visible sign of power, wealth and dominance."--BOOK JACKET

Proportional Representation on Trial examines the 1999 election in New Zealand and its aftermath. The last electoral contest of the twentieth century resulted in a complete change of government. In 1999 Labour returned to power as the main party in a coalition minority government. Proportional representation in the form of MMP made the difference. The fourth in a series of election studies, Proportional Representation on Trial traces the evolution of public attitudes to MMP, presents a comprehensive assessment of the effects of proportional representation, and discusses the experiment of the two citizen-initiated referendums.

Till Human Voices Wake Us Ian Hamilton; introduction by Tony Reid [Auckland, N.Z.]: Auckland University Press: Oxford University Press, [Auckland], [Oxford], New Zealand, 1984

Till Human Voices Wake Us is an angry, bitter, vivid, and honest account of a conscientious objector's experiences during World War II. Written in white heat shortly after the war and published by private subscription in 1953, it has been little known since - possibly because New Zealanders have preferred not to know of the story it tells. Treatment of conscientious objectors was harsher in New Zealand than in Britain or Australia. Appeal Boards, against whose decisions there was no further appeal, were set up to rule on the genuineness of each case. Those who failed to satisfy their stringent criteria and still refused to serve were classified as military defaulters and kept in detention camps. Of the 800 defaulters Ian Hamilton was one of a small minority who refused any co-operation with the authorities and faced full penal discipline, including periods in solitary confinement and in prison. Besides being his personal story and an account of defaulters' camps it gives a horrifying picture of prison conditions in the 1940s. Ian Hamilton wrote for a public which he could assume knew the background of his story. This cannot be assumed of present-day readers. An introduction by the noted journalist Tony Reid fills in the essential detail, and also makes it clear that the interest of the story is not just historical. 'Above all,' he says, 'Hamilton's conviction that the philistine crudities of our culture do not allow a civilised response to dissent has never been more relevant.'

Ngā mōteatea: an introduction = he kupu arataki Jane McRae; Māori translation by Hēni Jacob Auckland, N.Z.: Auckland University Press, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 1), Auckland, 2011

The songs of Maori tradition are a living art form and an abundant source of knowledge about tribal history and culture. From the 1920s, Sir Apirana Ngata began collecting and annotating these traditional songs - a massive undertaking that, with the help of translators Pei Te Hurinui Jones and later Hirini Moko Mead, became the treasured four-volume Nga Moteatea. This book, published in association with the Polynesian Society, is an introduction to Ngata's classic collection. Its first essay outlines the origins and publication history of the Nga Moteatea volumes; the second celebrates the power and meaning of Maori song, discussing the styles and roles of the songs in traditional life, the poetry, and the cultural content, tribal origins, composers and methods of composition. With dual text in English and Maori, illustrations, and ten songs reproduced from the volumes, Nga Moteatea: An Introduction is a perfect entry point for students, teachers, scholars or singers interested in learning about and passing on the rich and vibrant poetry of nga moteatea.

Fool moon : poems Edmond, Murray, 1949-; Forsberg, Joanna Auckland, N.Z.: Auckland University Press, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 1), New York, 2013

Fool Moon is a sparkling collection by a well-known poet. Constructed in four parts for the phases of the moon, it is as lively and irreverent as ever. There are bright glimpses of faraway places, warm conversations with friends, jokes and games with words, strong theatrical elements and encounters with other writers. One poem is made up of lines from The Penguin Book of New Zealand Verse (1985); another is a moving elegy for poet and dramatist Alan Brunton. While there are the sardonic and satirical moments so characteristic of Murray Edmond, the collection as a whole is affirmative, entertaining and enjoyable reading. With photographs by Joanna Forsberg.
