He Waiata Wawata,
Antony Deaker, hardback, monoprint by Peter McLaren, paper over board, letterpress to front and spine, letterpress to title page, hand sewn & bound, edition of 50 copies, ISBN: 978-0-9864665-2-6, RRP65.00 SOLD OUT

These words are from poems and stories written for various people and places over the last few years. I’ve taken an essence from those pieces to create a picture of my feelings about home, friendships and whakapapa. The ideas collected here represent my need for a personal mythology – the importance of day dreams.

Antony Deaker is Kai Tahu from Kati Huirapa and of Scottish and Irish descent. He works as an artist mentor and business coach in the PACE programme and as a writer and P.A. for Maori social and health service providers in Dunedin. He lives with his family in Orokonui overlooking Blueskin Bay where many of these poems are set.

Antony’s poetry has been published in various local journals and books, used by different musicians and composers and in the works of the performance art group Mushroom Orchestra 1999 to 2002.
Antony has also presented exhibitions of sculpture, created ambient soundscapes for Radio and at Festivals and produced various performance art projects at Festivals and on the street.

Goat Songs, Robert McLean

2011-09-15T00:07:00.000-07:00

Goat Songs, Robert McLean, hardback, sectional cloth & paper over board, woodblock print to front, letterpress to front and spine, letterpress title page, hand sewn & bound, 48 pages, edition of 50 copies, ISBN: 978-0-9864665-7-1, RRP: NZD$65.00 The Word tragedy (tragoidia) translates literally as "goat song" and is thought to refer to the practice of giving a goat as a sacrifice or a prize at the religious festivals in honour of the god Dionysus, Achieved across a wide variety of forms - sonnets, blank verse, vers libre, prose versets and syllabics - the poems in Goat Songs explore how tragedy and sacrifice might come to be embodied at the intersection of life and art: from meditations on paintings & painters, private elegies, valedictions to Rimbuad & Edward II, ghosted monologues, the providence of the Voyager spacecraft, ending with a suburban reimagining of A Midsummer Night's Dream. About the Author

Robert McLean was born at Bethany in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1974. He graduated from the University of Canterbury in 2004 with an MA in political science and art theory, returning to complete an MFA in creative writing in 2008. His poems, short-fictions, translations and reviews have been published in a variety of print and electronic periodicals and anthologies, both locally and overseas. His first collection For the Coalition Dead was published by Kilmog Press in 2009; For Renato Curcio (Gumtree Press) followed in 2010

Kilmog Press titles are available from Parsons Bookshop in Auckland & the Dunedin Public Art Gallery Gift Shop

For the Coalition Dead, Robert McLean, hardback, hand-dyed card over board, letterpress to front & spine, dustjacket with card-over-glass print & hand dyed with letterpress to front & spine, letterpress title page, hand sewn & bound, 40 pages, edition of 50 copies, ISBN: 978-0-9864567-2-5, RRP: NZD$65.00

Mclean writes that in For the Coalition Dead, “reconciliation, not schism, is dear to me. Various prosodies are employed from poem to poem”
This has resulted in kind of a classicism evident throughout his poetry. Although McLean has been called a New Formalist, he is “invested in functionality of meaning in a poem” and this collection is a culmination of his political and philosophical commitments and obligations.

Exit Strategy, George Murray

Exit Strategy, George Murray, hard back, hand dyed card over board, letterpress to front & spine, letterpress title page, hand sewn & bound, 44 pages, edition of 70 copies, ISBN:978-0-9864665-0-2, RRP: NZD$65.00

“Exit Strategy arrives at an interesting point in my career trajectory, falling at what I hope is dead centre of a sea change in my life and poetic apprenticeship. Comprising poems collected from my second through to my fourth book, as well as new uncollected work held in reserve for an upcoming volume, Exit Strategy provides an interesting snapshot of me and my work at a moment in time that is surrounded by much of life's stuff, the marginalia of poetry: children, relocation, illness, divorce, acclaim, acceptance, struggle, renewal, etc. I look forward to reading this collection again when I'm older.”

George Murray's publications include:
Glimpse (2010), The Rush to Here (2007), The Hunter (2003), The Cottage Builder's Letter (McClelland & Stewart, 2001) and Carousel (Exile Editions, 2000).

His poetry has appeared around the world in anthologies, magazines, and journals as various as Granta, Iowa Review, Jacket, London Magazine, New American Writing, New Welsh Review, and Radical Society, as well as in most literary magazines in Canada. He is the former Poetry Editor for the Literary Review of Canada, and sits as a contributing editor on a number of journals, including Canadian Notes & Queries. He reviews poetry for the Globe and Mail, and is the founder of the popular literary website Bookninja.com. He lives in St. John's, Newfoundland with his two children.

2011-08-29T17:39:00.000-07:00

Heading North, Helen Rickerby, hardback, cloth & paper over board, letterpress to front & spine, letterpress title page, hand sewn & bound, 24 pages, edition of 70 copies, ISBN: 978-0-9864616-6-8, RRP: NZD$65.00

In Heading North, Helen Rickerby takes us on the road. This playful and reflective sequence explores the tensions and connections between the narrator and her lover on a road trip towards the tip of the North Island.

Punctured Experimental, Iain Britton

2011-08-28T12:47:00.000-07:00

Punctured Experimental, Iain Britton, hardback, hand dyed card & cloth over board, letterpress to front & spine, woodblock print to dustjacket, hand dyed with letterpress to front & spine, letterpress title page, hand sewn & bound, 44 pages, ISBN: 9780986461699, RRP: NZD$.65.00

These new poems are a synthesis of mainstream, experimental and other aspects of postmodernist writing. They are varied and hopefully ‘push’ the imagination into surreal but meaningful places. They are concentrated pieces and dependent on space for effect and need to be treated as separate individuals. Although themes are not clearly obvious, the poems are connected by those human factors we live with every day and certain mnemonics appear and reappear.

Extract from a review in Poetry NZ from Iain Britton’s second collection, Liquefaction:
“Britton knows the value of the visual form in poetry. His work in this new collection continually retains pleasing and consistent form. At all times too, the visual is supported by fine rhythm and powerful meaning”.
Siobhan Harvey – Writer, Editor, Poet.

Since 2008, Iain Britton has had three collections of poems have been published: Hauled Head First into a Leviathan, Cinnamon Press (UK), Liquefaction, Interactive Press (AUST) and Cravings, Oystercatcher Press (UK). He has published widely in New Zealand & abroad in such magazines as Agenda, Stand, The Reader, Warwick Review, Wolf Magazine, Horizon Review, Blackbox Manifold, Great Works, Harvard Review, BlazeVOX, Meanjin, Heat, Jacket, plus Poetry NZ, Brief, Turbine, Trout and the NZEPC Home & Away online anthology.

12 Abandoned Poems, Barry Schwabsky

2011-08-28T12:14:00.000-07:00

12 Abandoned Poems, Barry Schwabsky, hardback, cloth & paper over board, letterpress to front & spine, letterpress title page, hand sewn & bound, 24 pages, edition of 55 copies, ISBN: 978-0-9864616-7-5, RRP: NZD$65.00

In his afterword to these poems, Barry Schwabsky explains: ‘the origins of my desire to work with the “failed” or “abandoned” efforts of other poets undoubtedly lie deep within the history of my work. I have always been fascinated by the obviously self-contradictory notion of a text whose final form would nonetheless be predicated on the suggestion that it could easily have been otherwise.’

12 Abandoned Poems include reconfigured works from K. Silem Mohammad, Geoffrey Young, Amy King, Catherine Wagner, Kevin Killian, Simon Smith, Tim Atkins, Louise Mathias, Robert Richman and Richard Hell.

These poems echo their origins, remaining untitled, and gain new form in the very act of being read, and yet always retaining this feeling, that they are works ‘Grown obscure / among mortals // but plain / to the eyes of passing gods’.

About the author
Barry Schwabsky is an American poet living in London. He has published two full-length collections, Opera: Poems 1981-2002 (Meritage Press, 2003) and Book Left Open in the Rain (Black Square Editions/The Brooklyn Rail, 2009) as well as several chapbooks, among them For Despair (Mindmade Books, 2005) and Fate/Seen in the Dark (Burning Deck, 1985). He is the art critic for The Nation and co-editor of international reviews for Artforum.

Bacchus Drinks Only Out of Love, Envisia Dupont

2011-08-20T20:48:00.000-07:00

Bacchus Drinks Only Out of Love, Envisia Dupont, hardback, hand dyed card over board, woodblock print to front, letterpress to front & spine, dustjacket, letterpress to front & spine, letterpress title page, hand sewn & bound, bi-lingual edition of 70 copies (Italian text and English translation) RRP: NZD$65.00, ISBN: 978-0-9864507-5-4

A chapbook of eight poems, Bacchus Drinks Only Out of Love is the first poetry published by Envisia Dupont. Here in the youthful, raw and honest lines, is poetry of our time. The striking opening poem “Generation 00” expounds on the emotions and mores of contemporary life, “I have five hundred friends on Facebook/ and no one to go/ out with in the evening”. These sharp post-modern observations are foiled by the beautiful and tender “just another love poem”. This is a substantial selection from one so early in their career.

About the author:

Envisia Dupont is the pen name of the young Italian writer Maurizio Fusillo. Born in 1990 in San Severo, Fusillo/Dupont was educated in Italy and after spending time in England, had his first work of fiction Hakkol Habel published before he was 20. Dupont/Fusillo is also a filmmaker, artist and theremin player.

Urchin Belle, Jenni Fagan

2011-08-20T20:10:00.000-07:00

Urchin Belle, Jenni Fagan, hardback, card over board, hand excoriated brickwork, dyed card with wood block print, letterpress to spine and rear board, letterpress title page, hand sewn & bound, edition of 50 copies, RRP: NZD$65.00, ISBN 978-0-9864567-7-0

Urchin Belle is a debut collection with a shocking lack of morality. It provokes, disturbs, unsettles, beguiles and seduces. These poems are wholly unapologetic, piercing in clarity and borne out the truest, extreme edges of society. An innate surrealism and melancholy beauty underpins a defiant, vulnerable hope. Startlingly compelling.

About the author:

Jenni Fagan has had four legal names, moved over fifty times, travelled extensively and played in bands. She has been published in the UK, USA, India, Paris, New Zealand, Istanbul and Athens among others. She is currently a writer in residence in London. She has previously won awards from the Scottish Arts Council, Dewar Arts, Peggy Ramsay and most recently Arts Council England. She is currently finishing her novel The Panopticon. Jenni is a Scottish poet who lives in London with her cat.

Her second poetry collection, The Dead Queen of Bohemia was published in 2010 through Blackheath Books in the UK, here's a link http://www.blackheathbooks.org.uk/8.html & you can check out the author's website http://thedeadqueenofbohemia.wordpress.com/

Jeanne Bernhardt

26 Poems,
Jeanne Bernhardt, hardback, card over board, letterpress to dustjacket, repeated on title page, letterpress to cover, the same numerals with lagre 26 overlay in red, 28 pages, hand sewn & bound, edition of 60 copies, RRP: NZD$65.00, ISBN: 978-0-9864507-4-7

Jeanne Bernhardt’s poetry has been described as having a kind of enigmatic beauty; an edginess and a lyrical quality that defies categorisation. This collection, 26 Poems, is no exception. Its themes of loss, arrivals and departures are composed with a simple yet meticulous structure.

Small-time Spectre, Miro Bilbrough

2011-08-08T21:42:00.000-07:00

Small-time Spectre, Miro Bilbrough, hardback, wood block print to front & verso of cover, letterpress to cover & spine, wood cut & letterpress repeated on dustjacket, letterpress title page, hand sewn & bound, edition of 70 copies, RRP: NZ65.00, ISBN: 978-0-9864616-2-0

This collection of poems by Miro Bilbrough traces enigma, incongruity and tenderness in the local and the exotic. A flâneur of intimacies, the observing eye here is close, curious, sometimes ironic; ever-alert to the way an image can become the bearer of uncanny emotional truth.

About the Author:

Miro Bilbrough was born in New Zealand where she trained as a curator of contemporary art and was art critic for ‘The Evening Post’. Since migrating to Australia in 1990 she has been a regular contributor of poetry to ‘Sport’. A screenwriter and director whose award-winning short films include‘Urn’, ‘Bartleby’ and the short feature‘Floodhouse’, she currently teaches screenwriting at International Film School Sydney. Her first full length debut film, Venice, will be out in 2011. The title poem, 'Small-time Spectre', was recently published in the Best New Zealand Poems 2011.

red sky blues, Ed Tato

2011-08-07T11:58:00.000-07:00

red sky blues, Ed Tato hardback, vulcanised ink on card over board with paper overlay, letterpress to cover & spine, hand sewn & hand bound, 36 pages, RRP $65.00, ISBN: 978-0-9864

Ed Tato has studied with Wystan Curnow and Michele Leggott, read weekly at Auckland's Poetry Live, and won the 2007 Montana Poetry Slam. He's the author of True Stories from la Cosa Nostra (Unholy Day Press) and poems not pieces (Spartan Press – 2011). His poems can be found in print and web journals such as Trout and nthposition. A former warehouse worker, hotel bellman, furniture mover, escort driver, and city planner, Tato returned to the US to earn a Master in Fine Arts from Syracuse University and lives there still, looking for work.

Plain-spoken and clipped, red sky blues springs from human vulnerability and exposes us to emotions as volatile and relentless as the weather phenomena forecast by each title. Scenes evoke a shadowy quotidian tenuously accountable to direct experience – characters endure, remote and estranged. The music is direct, spare and mournful. Its flattened lyrics moan from fields, highways, bathrooms and ruined gardens, not in praise or transcendence, but for a momentary spell of shelter and mercy from the inexorable squall of life beyond our control.

Red Sky Blues is available at Parsons Bookshope in Auckland or at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery Gift Shop here: http://artgallery.marketeer.co.nz/product.pasp?categoryid=1&productid=140

In this collection Martin Edmond explores the realms of hypnogeography; the places we go when we dream - asleep or awake. Edmond’s prose travels through historical landscapes and encounters with the dead, via his unique blend of the surreal and what is commonly termed‘reality’.

The Thousand Ruby Galaxy is a book about falling in love and how, when that happens, the intergalactic becomes local.

Joseph Ridgwell

Joseph Ridgwell

Lost Elation (2010)
hardback, letterpress to cover & spine, hand dyed dustjacket with letterpress to front & spine, letterpress title page, hand sewn & bound, 28 pages, edition of 50 copies, RRP $NZ65.00, ISBN: 978-0-9864567-6-3

In Lost Elation, Joseph Ridgwell takes the reader on a journey into the underbelly of society to reveal “the cracked modern world in all its ruined beauty”. This collection springs from the streets, basements and bars of the Ridgwell’s world. There is a wry sadness in his snapshots of lost friends, former loves, doomed youth, and the milieu of immigrant London. Dejection follows the author in his travels through Sydney, Waiheke Island, the Blue Mountains, while his poems sing“the songs of the underground”, the stories of drunks, hookers, junkies and strippers.

About the Author: Joe grew up in the East End of London and left school with few qualifications. He then embarked on a succession of menial jobs. After being stabbed in a bar brawl and getting robbed at knifepoint, he left the country and traveled the world Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. He stayed in Australia for four years living mostly in the Kings Cross area of Sydney until he fled to Thailand. He returned to London where he lives and writes to this day. Lost Elation is Ridgwell’s third book of poetry. His previous collections, Where Are The Rebels? and Load the Gunswere both published by Blackheath Books (UK) alongside a debut short story collection, Oswald's Apartment and a novel, Last Days of the Cross was published by Grievous Jones Press. His work has appeared in short story anthologies, literary collaborations, magazines, newspapers, and numerous online publications.

Indonesia (2011)

hardback, woodcut prints to front & verso, card over board with cloth spine, letterpress over illustration and to spine, illustrated by Alan Morrison, hand sewn & bound, 80 pages, edition of 50 copies, RRP NZ$65.00, ISBN: 978-0-9864665-3-3
“I started writing what would eventually form the basis of this novella over a decade ago. At first they were a loosely connected set of stories, poems, notes, or what the Australian writer Henry Lawson might have referred to as sketches. As time went by and my writing skills improved, I came to realise there was enough material to comprise a short novel, and gradually began drawing all the pieces together until they bonded into a recognisable whole.

The subsequent book follows my adventures as I wander from one Indonesian island to another without any recognisable itinerary or purpose. From volcanoes at dawn to beach bars populated with philosophical gigolos, each chapter documents my own weird travel experience in the region. There are encounters with goddesses, man-eating komodo dragons, sex fiends, islands without beer, spirits of delight, tattooed prostitutes, drug-fuelled hallucinations, and even a little holiday romance Island of the Gods style. And of course alcohol, for like most of my work, a good deal of drinking occurs.

For those interested in chronology, the events described in Indonesia predate the fictionalised events described in my novel, Last Days of the Cross.”
