This Twilight Menagerie
Edited by Jamie Trower and Sam Clements, This Twilight Menagerie is a celebration of forty years of a cultural institution that is Aotearoa New Zealand's longest running live poetry group, Poetry Live! From current poet laureate David Eggleton, award winning poet Siobhan Harvey, and the celebrated Vaughan Rapatahana, Elizabeth Kirkby-McLeod, and Kiri Piahana-Wong, to many more, this anthology marks a major milestone in the socio-cultural history of spoken word poetry in the country, through a rich and varied tapestry of compositional styles, forms and themes. Representing poets from multiple generations, this collection offers a distinctive snap shot in time of rich diversity in poetic expression.
Cards on the Table
Ranging from quick-fire questions for us to ponder to provocative longer works drawing on classical themes, this highly entertaining collection will surprise and inspire with its wit and honesty Lean, yet vivid, Jeremy Robert’s style can be sensuous, graphic or outspoken. He weaves in and out around Pop Culture icons such as James Dean & Andy Warhol, as well as making irreverent commentaries on Kiwi culture. Whether ‘seeking answers’ in Auckland’s Western park, hanging out with crazies at LA’s Venice Beach, contemplating a cheap Margarita in a Texas bar, observing human tragedy on a Paris street, reflecting in steamy Bali evening, or contemplating a piece of rubbish in London, Roberts articulates with truth and honesty during his journey of discovery. Roberts does more than put his cards on the table – he lines up his targets and then hammers the poetic nails in.
Moneyland
12 friends. 12 million bucks. 12 months. No food. No adults. No backing out. It’s 2037, and humans worldwide are losing their jobs to artificial intelligence. Everyone needs money to survive, including Eden Shepherd, who agrees to spend a year inside a biodome experiment with 11 other kids from her high school to make money for her family. They are each paid one million dollars in cash to stay inside the dome for 365 days. The kids plan to party away the year in Lockdownland and it starts with a bang. The problem is that there's no supermarket, no electricity, and supplies are limited. There is no panic button they could use to escape. As the group becomes more and more divided, Eden must tap into her inner strength and sharp wit. But does she have what it takes to protect herself and survive?

Risk
Pär Sandå var 26 år gammal när cheferna på Swedbank ställde in en ny dator på hans skrivbord. Den till synes oskyldiga burken rymde en elektronisk koppling till den nystartade svenska optionsbörsen. Året var 1991 och finansmarknaden var på väg att ömsa skinn för alltid. Femton år senare gick Pär Sandå och hans vänner i täten för aktiemarknadens globalisering. Med kontor på tre kontinenter, och servrar utställda invid världens största börser, gjorde de en halv miljon affärer per dygn i fyrtio olika länder. Ändå var de bara som mest trettio personer. På vägen byggde de upp ett av Sveriges mest lönsamma företag någonsin. Risk är en berättelse om en finansiell revolution, om entreprenörskap och om Pan Capital – en av näringslivets bäst bevarade hemligheter. Jacob Bursell är journalist. Han har tidigare arbetat på Svenska Dagbladet och driver Fondpodden. Risk är hans första bok.

Rangatira
Based on a true story Auckland, June 1886. Ngati Wai chief Paratene Te Manu spends long sessions, over three long days, having his portrait painted by the Bohemian painter Gottfried Lindauer. Hearing of Lindauer's planned trip to England reminds him of his own journey there, twenty years earlier, with a party of northern rangatira. As he sits for Lindauer, Paratene retreats deeper and deeper into the past, from the triumphs in London and their meetings with royalty to the disintegration of the visit into poverty, mistrust, and humiliation. 'Morris' research is both thorough and thoughtful . . . With its light, often wry tone, much of the story-telling is amusing, albeit desperately poignant.' —Margie Thomson, Canvas 'An extraordinary literary achievement and probably the best of recent New Zealand historical novels.' —Nicholas Reid, New Zealand Books '[An] adroitly told historical novel . . . Paratene – old, forgetful but wise and generous in his appraisals – is our lens, and he's a triumph of characterisation, his voice genial and flawlessly authentic.' —John McCrystal, New Zealand Listener Also available as an eBook
