New work from
emerging and established writers, including the latest graduates of Victoria
University of Wellington’s International Institute of Modern Letters (IIML),
features in online literary magazine Turbine
The 15th edition
of the magazine showcases work by an array of New Zealand writers, such as
Kerrin P. Sharpe, whose third collection rabbit rabbit will be published
by Victoria University Press (VUP) in 2016.
It also features
work from writers further afield, such as Irish poet Vona Groarke, and a new
translation of a poem by Eugenio Montale—the 1975 recipient of the Nobel Prize
in Literature.
Two poems from
2015 Stout Memorial Fellow Gregory O’Brien inspired by a ceramic work made by Tony Fomision
are included as well as two poems from Professor Harry Ricketts from Victoria’s
School of English, Film, Theatre and Media Studies.
Host of Radio New
Zealand’s The Sampler Nick Bollinger offers up his take on a garden and a
long-lost recording by the band Mammal, and Lynn Jenner uncovers the history of
Kāpiti in a hybrid of essay and
poetry.
The 2015 Victoria
University of Wellington/Creative New Zealand Writer in Residence, Tim
Corballis, offers eight short stories and is confronted with questions taken
directly from his work in an interview with Master’s student Jackson Nieuwland.
IIML Senior
Lecturer Emily Perkins says Turbine 15 showcases some of the sharpest
new writing around, from writers near and far, in all kinds of formats.
“Some of these
contributors are already highly regarded poets, fiction writers and non-fiction
writers; others, it seems fair to say, soon will be.”
Turbine 15 is co-edited by Louise Compagnone, Alexandra Hollis and Jackson Nieuwland.
