I've been waiting for Michalia Arathimos' debut novel for some time. Each chapbook loosely explores the life of a New Zealand woman, from celebrated writer Katherine Mansfield and cosmologist Beatrice Tinsley, to a possibly fictional school ghost and ill-fated dancer Phyllis Porter who died after her dress caught fire onstage at Wellington’s Opera House. Powles' poetry is also something to behold: intellectual and moving utterly contemporary, but with a deep connection to the past. We published her poem ' The Great Wall' as part of Spec-Fic Month. Seraph Press books are like art objects Luminescent is made up of five colourful chapbooks (two pictured above) that are gathered together in a cover evocative of the night-sky. We're excited about the debut collection from Nina Powles, one of the most compelling young voices in New Zealand poetry. Contributors include Lisa Reihana, Paula Morris, Amy Leigh Wicks, Briar Wood, Kiri Piahana-Wong, Grant Kingi and many more! This is really something special. The issue has the title 'Going Global' because as well as Māori contributors, writers and artists from Europe ponder issues of identity, migration, diversity, and nationhood. It's Aotearoa’s only Māori literary journal, and issue three is sharply produced and packed with prose, poetry, art, and photography. I picked up a copy of the issue three of Ora Nuiin a bookstore the other day. Here’s the quarterly Pantograph roundup of what’s happening in Aotearoa New Zealand indie publishing. Indie: A small independent unaffiliated an obscure form of art which one learns about from someone slightly hipper than oneself.
