That Derrida Whom I Derided Died
\"In his eighty-sixth year, C. K. Stead’s new collection leads us deep inside the life of the poet. He looks back at his younger self, remembering old loves and cringing at his ‘lugubrious rhyming’. He writes most often of those who have gone (Jacques Derrida and Allen Curnow, Peter Porter and Sarah Broom, Colin McCahon and Maurice Shadbolt, Lauris Edmond and Ted Hughes) but also of those still with us (Kevin Ireland and Fleur Adcock, Alan Roddick and Bill Manhire, Michael Frayn and Paula Rego, his family, himself caught naked in the mirror – and dancing). He takes us with him on the poetical life: from Dogshit Park in Budapest to a Zagreb bookshop to the Christchurch Word Festival. The collection includes a series of poems written while the author was poet laureate, including a sequence on World War I in which ‘the Ministry’ requests poems from our reluctant and sometimes defiant laureate, who responds in the salty voice of Catullus that he has made his own so often before\"--Publisher information.

Yellow Buoy
C. K. Stead has always swum through literature, cultures, surroundings both physical and social, with a deft stroke. Completed in his eightieth year, The Yellow Buoy sees the poet firmly attached to his memories, attuned to his craft and attentive to his world. The book is divided into three parts: ÃÂThe Yellow BuoyâÂÂ, ÃÂThe Silenceâ and ÃÂThe Green EnclaveâÂÂ. Here, in classic vein, Catullus returns to receive the ONZ, write to friends and ÃÂread the worldâÂÂ. Various other literary fellows appear in person, dream or conversation àAllen Curnow and Hugh Kawharu, Frank Sargeson and Barry Humphries, Creeley, Mansfield and Wordsworth. The collection also includes warmly translated versions of poems by Eugenio Montale, Carlo Vita and Philippe Jaccottet; alongside glimpses of fantails and elegies for friends. From sonnets to syllabics, with settings ranging from Croatia and Colombia to Karekare and the Côte dâÂÂAzur, these masterly poems urge a reader to stay alert àto pay attention to ÃÂthe poetic moment / so easily missed, / so quickly lost.âÂÂ.

Allen present and absent
This paper was delivered on 30 October 2017 at a symposium to accompany the launch by Auckland University Press of 'Simply by Sailing in a New Direction', a biography of Allen Curnow by the late Professor Terry Sturm (edited by Linda Cassells) and of 'The Collected Poems of Allen Curnow', edited first by Sturm, and then after his death by Elizabeth Caffin. The Symposium's first panel was called 'Remembering Allen Curnow', and this was the opening paper. It is a personal response to the two books. C.K.S.
