- ‘To be honest, it felt like there wasn't as many books this year as compared to the last year or two - at the same time, it felt like there were even more people than usual, so everything went pretty rapidly. At least, that was my subjective impression...’

Jenny Bornholdt's New Collection of Poems Launched at Unity Books...
- 26 Oct 2008
- Texture
- Wellington poet Jenny Bornholdt is one of New Zealand's best-loved writers and her new book of autobiographical poems The Rocky Shore will be launched at Unity Books on Thursday evening. Wine, nibbles and good cheer will be offered to celebrate the publication, and Bornholdt will be present to give a reading.Bornholdt has a wry, observational writing style, and she often writes about family and everyday objects - the latter which she has a special knack for transforming into objects of wonder. Poems in The Rocky Shore also deal with a time when Bornholdt battled a long-term illness. Her poems are personal yet resonant but above all - warm, funny and insightful.Since she attended Bill Manhire's original composition course at Victoria University in 1984, Bornholdt has continually published poetry collections, from This Big Face (1984) to Summer (2003) and now The Rocky Shore. With her husband writer/artist/curator Gregory O'Brien, she co-edited the wildly popular My Heart Goes Swimming: New Zealand Love Poems, which won the Montana Book Award for Poetry in 1995.Bornholdt's contribution to New Zealand poetry has been acknowledged in the many prestigious awards she has received. In 2002 she was awarded the Meridian Energy Katherine Mansfield Memorial Fellowship in Menton, France (during which the poems for Summer were shaped). In 2003 she was the recipient of the Arts Foundation of New Zealand Laureate Awards, which is one of New Zealand's largest literary cash awards, and in 2005 she became the fifth Te Mata Estate New Zealand Poet Laureate.30 October6pmUnity Books57 Willis StreetFree- Kiran

Weather Weakens Book Collections

Without a Soul to Move - Book Launch, Saturday 5 July at Unity Books
- 1 Jul 2008
- Texture
- Colorado born novelist William Dewey has roamed around New York, Montana and Colorado. But in 2007, he relocated to Wellington where he completed his intricately structured but elegantly written second novel Without a Soul to Move. Set in Denver over a swift ten days, the novel illustrates a slice of the lives of three men: Howie, who is haunted by an unrequited love; Wayne who is detached, and Adam who has his own ambitious plans.Dealing with themes of love, suffering, loss and absence during a bitter winter, Dewey's narrative is dazzling, clever and funny with a subtle and dry wit. The fifth release from fiercely independent Wellington publishing collective Lawrence and Gibson, Without a Soul to Move will be officially launched with wine and nibbles at Unity Books.Unity Books57 Willis Street5pmFree- Kiran
