Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Questions burrow through the fourth poetry collection by Jan FitzGerald. An only child until a brother appears in a cradle one day, she wonders about the circumstances of her birth and delves into the memories she has of a childhood in 1950s Tauranga - making traps for birds that she cares…for in her bedroom, raiding feijoas, shelling peas at Christmas and befriending kuia waiting for their train.The poet marvels, too, at the world around her - from her beloved birds to the wildness of storms - and is angry at the mess we've made of it. Then, like everyone, she is aghast when nature turns, as it has done with the pandemic, and shows a different face - one we have no manual for. In 'A Question Bigger than a Hawk', Jan FitzGerald writes with urgency and compassion, allowing little to escape her keen and restless eye. Poems about growing up in the 1950s and a love of the natural world. Author Jan FitzGerald was involved in the literary scene in NZ as Jan Coad in the 1960s and 1970s but didn't release her first collection until 2005.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. As a mortician, Seb has mastered the art of making the dead resemble the living. He's embalmed countless corpses, unpacked organs, reset bones and made up pallid faces for their final viewing. If he's honest, he prefers the company of the deceased - no surprises and nobody to witness his in…adequacy. But they don't make for great work stories - nothing for his teenage children to look up to or to attract the waning interest of his wife. It looks like another humdrum day at White Lily Funerals when Seb meets Gabe, a dying boy unusually interested in caskets, who forces the mortician to rearrange the pieces of his life and shows him that magic doesn't have to be just a wish. A darkly comic tale with a tender heart, I Wish, I Wish was awarded the prestigious WA Hofmeyr Prize for outstanding writing that shifts the boundaries of Afrikaans literature.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Simon Sweetman - blogger, reviewer, podcaster, and author of On Song: Stories Behind New Zealand's Pop Classics, releases his first poetry collection, The Death of Music Journalism. Simon's been writing poems since he was first listening to bands on his Walkman, but then he started sharing…them via social media and open mic nights. Word got around and he was a sleeper hit at LitCrawl's Lit-Sync For Your Life and the 2020 Variety for Fierys. Marking a pivot from the razor-sharp and sometimes controversial music writing he is best known for, Simon's collection is as wide-ranging as his career to date. He writes about late-night encounters on the phone with rock stars, hanging out as a student in Wellington flats, the simplicity of time spent with family and the unpredictable life of a freelance music reviewer, and what happens when these things occasionally intersect. A natural storyteller whose poetry is filled with characters both famous and ordinary, this eagerly awaited collection is unpredictable, anarchic, playful and surprisingly heartfelt. Simon Sweetman blogger, reviewer, podcaster, and author of On Song: Stories Behind New Zealands Pop Classics, releases his first poetry collection, The Death of Music Journalism.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. It's 1866 and the three-masted sailing ship General Grant is on the southern route from Melbourne to London, with gold from the diggings secreted in returning miners' hems and pockets. In the fog and the dark, the ship strikes the cliffs of the Auckland Islands, is sucked into a cave and wr…ecked. Only fourteen men make it ashore and one woman - Mrs Jewell.

Scrape away the barnacles, re-examine the origins of Christian faith, take full account of modern knowledge and experience, open your mind to new possibilities, rethink what faith can mean in this new millennium - that's the plea Ian Harris makes in this challenge to reset faith within toda…y's secular frame.New World, New God showed how this reset can bring to light new interpretations for God, Jesus, the Bible and the great Christian festivals. Hand in Hand goes back a step to show why such a reset is necessary. Harris sees the secular not as hostile to faith, but as the neutral setting for religion in the modern world. He debunks the view that science is its polar opposite, and urges the churches to embrace the new reality as a positive for Christian understanding and for life. Rethink what faith can mean in this new millennium. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
