Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pounamu Pounamu is classic Ihimaera and also classic New Zealand literature. First published in 1972, it was his first book, which as he says in his new introduction 'fulfilled a childhood vow: to write about Maori using his own self and home place'. The vivid stories in this collection not only explore but also celebrate what it is to be a New Zealander, and they do so from a lively Maori perspective. The seeds of Ihimaera's later works were first sown in this ground-breaking collection: The Whale Rider in his story 'The Whale'; The Rope of Man in 'Tangi'; and the character of Simeon from Bulibasha, King of the Gypsies in 'One Summer Morning'. The book also covers the themes of aroha (love), whanaungatanga (kinship) and manaakitanga (supporting each other), which are so integral to Ihimaera's work.

Book excerpt: Two women, two cultures and an ancient Maori prophecy that will change their lives. Since she watched her village burn to the ground, Mere’s life has been anything but dull. Now as an older woman she has come to stay with Helene and James to finish writing her life story – a tale of injustice, revenge and reconciliation. But Helene and James have their own problems. After five years together, their marriage has become dull, predictable, boring … and it starts to unravel. Weaving fiction with the traumatic history of the Ngati Whatua tribe of Auckland, The Pounamu Prophecy sweeps from the sultry heat of Australia to the verdant shores of New Zealand.

Book excerpt: ‘Te Wahi Pounamu’, translated from Maori to mean, ‘The place of Greenstone’, is a book that recounts the history of Greenstone, how it got this name and where it was created. It’s a book that describes in detail the various varieties of Greenstone that occur on the Jade fields of Westland, the South Island’s West Coast of New Zealand. The title pays homage to the link between Maori and Greenstone, and there is a chapter devoted to a story told to me by a local Maori, Wally Tainui, which talks about the place of Greenstone. Most of the information shared within the book, however, is from my own personal experience; things I’ve seen, things I’ve heard and people I’ve met. When reading about likely locations of Greenstone within this book, It must be remembered that in 1997 the New Zealand Government introduced the Vesting Act. The Act placed protection over New Zealand’s National Stone, including Serpentine and all related minerals of what is known as the Amphibole group of minerals. There are still some places, such as on Westland’s beaches, where Greenstone hunters can keep what they find but legally Ngai Tahu are now officially the custodians who own and protect what’s left of a squandered resource. Through their custody Pounamu will be preserved for future generations ake ake (forever and ever). Alfred Moreton

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A celebration of Keri Hulme (1947-2021) the first novelist from Aotearoa New Zealand to win the Booker Prize, for 'the bone people'. Keri Hulme: Our Kuru Pounamu, from the group that first published 'the bone people' includes tributes, essays, poems, interviews, ephemera, art works and photographs. These come from Keri's family — her whānau was always at the centre of her life; from her tahu-tuhituhi, her beloved writing associates; and from her neighbours and friends. To include her in the kōrero — she loved conversation! — Keri is represented by poems, art works, a long essay about Te Wāhipounamu - South West New Zealand World Heritage Area, shorter essays, and extracts from her letters. The title comes from a letter that the late Dr Erihapeti Rehu-Murchie wrote to Spiral. The cover is by Kāi Tahu artist Madison Kelly. Keri Hulme: Our Kuru Pounamu is in seven parts — Kā Tahu-Tuhituhi Arapera Blank, Bill Manhire, Brian Potiki, Cathie Dunsford, Fergus Barrowman, Gaylene Preston, Janet Charman, Keri Hulme, Maclean Barker, Madison Kelly, Patricia Grace, Philip Tremewan, Renée, Rowley Habib, Sandi Hall, Sharon Murphy Moeraki — The Black Bach Keri Hulme, Siobhan McNulty Te Tai Poutini — Kā Naybore Andris Apse, David Alexander, Keri Hulme, Sonja Worthington Spiral & The Women's Gallery Bridie Lonie, Keri Hulme, Marian Evans the bone people Arapera Blank, Dulcie Smart, Erihapeti Murchie, Irihapeti Ramsden, Keri Hulme, Lynne Ciochetto, Mark Cubey, Sylvia Mary Bowen, Vicki McDonald Te Whānau Tommy Rangikino Miller, Mary Miller, Kate Salmons, Matthew Salmons The book ends with a waiata composed by the late Miriama Evans of Spiral and sung at the launch of the bone people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holidaying in New Zealand and adventure activities like bungee jumping, canyon swinging, and jetboating up wild rivers are virtually synonymous. But there are other adventures that this country–one of the most isolated in the world–offers. Finding them may not be that easy, nor is getting there and back in one piece. Lee Traynor has therefore explored the two main southern islands of New Zealand: The South Island (Te Wai Pounamu) and Stewart Island, and undertaken a number of shorter and longer hikes (tramps). Among these are the Great Walks of the Abel Tasman Coastal Track, the Kepler Track, and the Milford Track. These three tracks, each with its own distinct personality, are set in spectacular landscapes found only in New Zealand. The utmost technical challenge is, however, the ten-day North-West Circuit of Stewart Island (which includes parts of the Rakiura Track, another Great Walk), a trek through temperate rainforests, all but impassable muddy tracks, and across extensive coastal sand dunes reminiscent of the south-eastern coast of Australia. Lee Traynor recounts the preparations and the two months spent in New Zealand travelling around these southern islands and his adventures on and off the track. Lavishly illustrated with over 175 colour photographs and maps, and 20 black and white photos and diagrams.
