Beschreibung

‘Bracing’ is a full collection of poems, mostly about contemporary life, experienced richly, intensely, unsentimentally and with humour. The writing is humane and accessible, wearing its intelligence lightly. There is something for everyone in ‘Bracing’, even for those who were put off poetry at school. This is a mature, well-rounded piece of work. The subject matter ranges across modern life and beyond - childhood, parenthood, love, lust, loss, shopping, animals (and our connection to them), climate change, the complexities of the human heart and of relationships, spirituality, food, suffragettes, the status of women, homesickness, grief, illness, ageing, dementia, fear, the joy in small things. All the poems are underpinned by a keen eye, a sharp wit and a total absence of self-pity. Simone is a safe pair of hands, writing in an unshowy style, a poet who manages to be heartfelt, humorous and accomplished.

    'I'm awake. I'm alive. Everything's real and I love you.'
    Lin, an astronaut, speeds towards a distant planet. He's on a pioneering solo mission to create a new home for humankind.
    His only human contact is an exchange of voice messages with his lover, Silas, back on Earth. But thanks to the laws of relativity, Silas is ageing so much faster than Lin. Days for the astronaut will be decades for the lover left behind.
    As disaster befalls the spacecraft and planet Earth falls apart, Silas and Lin's love is tested to the limit.
    Timothy X Atack's DELAY is a love story. A suspenseful, heartwrenching yet hopeful queer sci-fi stage play about saying what you mean and saying goodbye. It was first performed at Bristol Old Vic in 2025.

    The award-winning first book of poetry by Chris Tse – now available as an audiobook.
    Winner – Jessie Mackay Award for Best First Book of Poetry at the 2016 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards
    The world is full of murder
    
    and words are usually
    the first to go
    In 1905, white supremacist Lionel Terry murdered the Cantonese gold prospector Joe Kum Yung to draw attention to his crusade to rid New Zealand of Chinese and other East Asian immigrants.
    Chris Tse uses this story – and its reenactment for a documentary a hundred years later – to reflect on the experiences of Chinese migrants of the period, their wishes and hopes, their estrangement and alienation, their ghostly reverberation through a white-majority culture. Along the way we visit the gold fields of the south, a shipwreck in the Hokianga that left the spirits of 500 Chinese goldminers in an unmemorialised limbo for a hundred years and the streets of Newtown, Wellington, where Lionel Terry went out one night ' looking for a Chinaman' .
    Chris Tse' s flickering use of imagery, resonant language and flexible pronouns are particularly suited to the historic events he describes and the viewpoints he shifts through.  How to be Dead in a Year of Snakes  is a welcome poetic addition to New Zealand literature.

    language I'll say yes from the top of my rib cage language will you come out and unearth the salt the certitude
       
    Between the verbs quivering and streaming, White Piano unfolds its variations like musical scores. A play of resonance between pronouns and persons, freely percussive between prose and poetry, and narrating a constellation of questions, White Piano offers readers a 'language that cultivates its own craters of fire and savoir-vie.'
       
    'At once achingly aware of mortality and hell-bound in its determination to press forward, change, and grow, White Piano is as brave as it is linguistically rich.'
       
    – Quill & Quire
       
    '[Brossard] writes with a poetic intensity that burns select lines and sometimes entire paragraphs into the reader's mind.'

As social isolation has become prolonged due to COVID 19 pendemic , his challenge was how to provide comfort and support to the young generation, plant dreams and hopes in their souls and heal their minds and bodies. So he would like to write a lyrical poems as if he was writing a letter to a lover or friend he miss or as if he was confessing his love and to provide love poems in sensuous language to young readers. In this case he said he tried his best to think outside the widespread emotions for the complicated 'postmoderism' poetry and encourage readers to recover their pure minds. The reason he wrote this collection , was to plant a work that could speak to the souls of readers like a painting or a poems.
