Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. 'A net of words across the Pacific . The Bond of Time is a vast, surreal cornucopia of images stretching over 88 pages, a non-lineal narrative bursting at its seams into every successive five-lined unrhymed stanza, each self-contained but caught in the net of Pule's ravishing imagination. [] It seems obvious that while a human relationship is signaled from the very beginning and pursued through dark and light along the poem's entire trajectory, no one person could be the sole object of the poet's attention and passion this is a love letter to a sea of islands, to Niue and the entire Pacific.' From the Introduction by Jeffrey Paparoa Holman. The Bond of Time was privately published in New Zealand in 1985 in a limited edition, and a second edition was published in 1998 by the Pacific Writing Forum at the University of the South Pacific, Fiji. This new edition includes an Introduction by Jeffrey Paparoa Holman, and the striking cover design features John Pule's painting The Great World (to Ha). John Puhiatau Pule is a novelist, poet and artist. Pule was born in Liku, Niue, and has lived in New Zealand since 1964. He was awarded the Arts Foundation of New Zealand Laureate in 2004 and was co-recipient of the Ursula Bethell Residency in Creative Writing at the University of Canterbury in 2013. John Puhiatau Pule was just 21 years old living in Auckland when he wrote The Bond of Time: an Epic Love Poem, composed as a lyrical address by a lover to his beloved. The love that preoccupies the youthful poet in The Bond of Time is multi-faceted; it combines the erotic and surreal with the earthy and the mundane, the classical Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. This is a very good condition soft cover. Interior is clean and NOT marked. Minor wear noted to front cover with faint crease at one corner. 294 pages. QUOTED from the back cover: "'Living in New Zealand there is a new horizon that is more powerful than the word death.'" "This is a story of the Pacific, of a father and his son and their family, of the spiritual voices which guide them - and of the loss that burns within them. It is a story of the people of a small Pacific island, their culture stretched almost to breaking point between their ancestral homeland and the often hostile new land of Karangahape Road and Otara. In this searing first novel, Niuean writer John Puhiatau Pule tells what it is like to be a stranger on the streets of Auckland. Rich with colour, alternatively brutal and lyrical, alive with the rhythmns of Polynesia, John Puhiatau Pule's unique language heralds the arrival of a truly Pacific magical realism." SHIPS from Eugene, Oregon, USA. Loc: case.

Most known pieces of hiapo (barkcloth or tapa) were produced in the mid to late nineteenth century and are now dispersed all over the world. The paintings range from dynamic abstract patterns to detailed renderings of plants, people (including European colonists), and signs of changing times. They offer a window on a time when missionary impact was deepening and Niuean life was changing forever. The illustrations, most of which are in full colour, bring together hiapo from all over the world. CONTENTS: Introduction / Nicholas Thomas Desire lives in Hiapo / John Pule 'Savage Island' Hiapo / Nicholas Thomas The plates Six etchings / John Pule.
