AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'My writing research poses and responds to questions of how and why we might make stories about living and dying well with rabbits. I use Indigenous epistemology and elements of Donna Haraway’s SF figure (2016) to create stories grounded in relatedness for partial healing. These stories perform the Māori kawe mate, a rite that translates as ‘carrying the dead’. Stories are inherited and reconfigured. They are made with others, including the dead. I think with the rabbits of Bowen Bridge, and their progenitors. I carry their memory through visual images and spoken word.' (Publication abstract)

    'Despite many attempts over many decades, it is difficult to point to a single straightforward definition of poetry; but perhaps the most often cited phrase is that it is the use of language and prosody to stir the imagination and the emotions; to concentrate one’s awareness of experience. Both framings -- imagination/emotion, and concentrated awareness -- feature in the essays including in this issue. And, given that this issue is both the product of a poetry conference, and focuses entirely on poetry, a number of the contributions are combinations of poetic sequences (in text, images and film) and short contextualising essays. Attention is given to poetry directed at social or political change; poetry emerging on new platforms, in new relationships or for new audiences; and the exploration of various modes of writing.' (Publication abstract)
