Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A new poetry collection full of stories caught from the air and pictures made of words. Its an optical amusement, a punctured surface letting light pour through holes cut out of the picture. Moon, army tents and the windows of houses and St Marys church glow or flicker with luminance. Between them move women and children as well as soldiers. Steamers, a brig and a schooner ride on the moonlit sea. Part and not part of the scene is the artists son, who lies three days buried in the churchyard at the foot of the hill where his father sits sketching the arrival of imperial troops. Now walk away from the painting when it is lit up and see how light falls into the world on this side of the picture surface. Is this what the artist meant by his cut outs? Is this the meaning of every magic lantern slide? Michele Leggotts new collection is full of history and family, lights and mirrors, the real and the surreal, now articulated through a powerful amalgam of prose poems and verse. Vanishing Points concerns itself with appearance and disappearance as modes of memory, familial until we lose sight of that horizon line and must settle instead for a series of intersecting arcs. It is full of stories caught from the air and pictures made of words. It stands here and goes there, a real or an imagined place. If we can work out the navigation the rest will follow.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Michele Leggott's new book of poetry follows on from her previous collection, Mirabile Dictu, in its exploration of light and of gathering dark. Leggott is a poet of the lilting, shining moment and in five of the sections here we follow her through her own moments and movements - to Devonport, to Australia, to the north - though these sequences also reverberate with the stories and histories of others. The final two sections take this exploration of character and narrative further as in one we see off a soldier to the First World War; and in the other - set in an earlier, unspecified time charted for us by telegraphic weather reports - a family tragedy unfolds, until a body is finally brought home for burial. Previously a poet to whom layout was crucial, the book includes the last poems Michele wrote that she was able to see the shapes of on the page, and thus Heartland gestures back towards previous work while at the same time beginning to chart a new compositional method. Heartland, Leggott says, is 'a destination and a song, a shadow and a single word with two chambers'.

Paperback. Condition: Good. 335 pages. Over the last three decades New Zealand literature has changed radically as New Zealand has become more diverse and more independent of its colonial origins. In place of a small li terary culture-nationalist, realist, Pakeha and masculine in outl ook-we now find a variety of styles, kinds, voices. In response t o these changes, writing about New Zealand literature has also ch anged. Since the mid 1980s, criticism in New Zealand has sought t o come to terms with feminism, culture studies, postmodernism, po st-colonialism indigenous writing. This book collects new essays by writers and critics who have taken part in this process of ass imilation and debate. The aim is not to announce a new orthodoxy or to impose some imported critical methodology on local writing. Rather the book shows how some well-known New Zealand authors-Ma nsfield, Sargeson, Hyde, Frame-can be read and reinterpreted from a number of critical perspectives and how different types of wri ting can be freshly reconsidered. The essays are lively, various, challenging. They re-examine New Zealand's past, question long-h eld assumptions, analyze the contemporary scene, and indicate new directions. Editorial Reviews About the Author Mark Williams i s senior lecturer in English at the University of Canterbury.
