Way Station - Encounters with Hafez
by Mike Johnson

language must choose its moment
to be in the world

when circumstances are right
the stars aligned

the omens propitious
after the moon has put the candle to sleep

the night-lights of dream
before the phone pings

and the world returns
at that moment and no other

I can talk to you
and words can take their first baby steps

into the world

Vega - From Aotearoa to the Aegean Sea
by Robyn White

A lyrical and historical account of an ocean voyage

It is the twenty-fourth of March 1992, and the veteran Greenpeace yacht Vega, is berthed at the viaduct in Auckland harbour. Three women crew and the boat's Captain Chris Robinson wave goodbye to the crowd gathered on the wharf. Guided by paper charts, a sextant and the stars they will sail across the Tasman Sea, through the tropical waters of Australia, across the vast Indian Ocean and up the coast of Africa towards their destination, the Island of Paros in the Aegean Sea. This book tells the tale of that voyage through the eyes of crew member Robyn White. With the daily challenges, joys and rhythms of life at sea playing out on deck, memories, hopes and dreams well up from the depths. The crew begin to wonder what will become of their treasured Vega when they get there.

Forever Offside

Hilarious, tragic, and bitingly real

For years in the niche sport that is Norway’s rugby league, Oslo’s The Caps have been the national champions. The team has been held together by the patience and charisma of their Skipper, lafeta “Fek”Teo’. But the demand of work and ayoung family mean that Fek, as his wife puts it, doesn’t have time ‘to father these man-children. Thankfully Fek has the perfect replacement: Joseph “Hepa” Coyle, the new kid on the block that has raised the Trondheim Wolverines from obscurity into a national force. But Oslo isn’t Trondheim, and chaos, resentment and apathy threaten to consume the colourful cast of players. Like all great comedies Forever Offside feels al too real, written with a fresh self-depreciating humour that is not afraid to probe the darker side of humanity.

Portrait of a Lasavia Writer:

A.D Bradley

Anne is an English writer, researcher, and lecturer who has lived in Aotearoa since her twenties. Her experiences as an immigrant have influenced her understanding of place, belonging and the stories that connect us.

Her children enjoyed a barefoot childhood in a seaside community, with school life enriched by kapa haka, a rugby club run by the local marae, and the generous friendships of the tangata whenua which are reflected in this story, as are her own childhood memories of life aboard her father’s old wooden sailing yacht.
Her work is shaped by a commitment to values-driven education, narrative research, and life writing. She seeks to act as an ally and witness to the enduring legacies of colonisation in contemporary life. Anne lectures in Research Methods and supervises Master of Management theses, with published work in human resource management, education, and creative nonfiction. Her writing explores themes of immigrant identity, grief, and transformation, often drawing on the power of story to illuminate the experiences of those navigating complex cultural landscapes. The Water and the Night is her first novel.

Menton Journal – Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson held the Katherine Mansfield Writing Fellowship in 1982. Menton Journal interweaves a narrative of his family’s life in the south of France with stories of locals who became close friends and excerpts from the novel on which he was working. His year in Menton proved to be a turning point. Between the Côte d’Azur and its terraced hinterland hills a shadowy nemesis lay in wait. Nothing would ever be the same again.

“’one of our most astute, humane, idiosyncratic, neglected and perdurable writers.’
– Martin Edmond

The Water and the Night – A.D. Bradley

An immersive and compelling debut novel that blends magical realism with emotional truth

Haunted by her Parisian past, Mariana lives alone in an old kauri oyster-boat in a small New Zealand town beside the sea. She works as a music teacher, and is content, after a fashion. But the land has its own memory – volcanic, primordial, restless. Racial tensions and historical grievances bubble up from the depths, and Mariana is gradually drawn into a web of stories that echo her own grief, loss and desire for healing. When the volcano Anahira stirs, the past returns to confront the present, and the sea rises to reclaim what was lost. The Water and the Night is a poignant yet hopeful novel about walking forwards while looking back.
