puff 682 Not the sort of thing you'd find in Metro

Not the sort of thing you'd find in Metro...

Papers
A series of collected papers and articles

Papers to Conference

This collection was published in August 2007 by Campus Press and is available at Academy Books in Kingsland, Auckland.

Looking at he connections between this collection and Auckland:

1 The first essay was presented at the Samoan Millenium in Apia. As someone at the conference said mine was another view, one from the deck of the Tofua, a banana boat operating out of Auckland on which I worked as a seventeen year old. There are a hundred Auckland stories hanging on this. Not the sort of thing you'd find in Metro...

2 The paper on Francis Pound and Wystan Curnow was written in Wellington with a raised eyebrow as to what was happening with literary journals in Auckland. Its about art and talk and fashion and who people know in Auckland in one another's family.

3 The mark on the wall is an essay out of nowhere in particular but it ghosts back to very late night discussions in the sixties at Eden Crescent, Auckland, in the sixties about Bloomsbury.

Auckland?
