23 days ago by Larisa

The sun peeked out at dusk, and the love I had for its reddish light falling on the blue spruce in a neighbour’s yard was overwhelming. I agree with the following, but for different reasons than the reasons it was written for: In the strange garden of effective existence, anything is the swan, that ...

Là-bas fuir

41 days ago by Larisa

One more thing. After trying to explain a few things about Mallarmé as quickly as I could to several acquaintances the other night, I recommended his poem, “Brise Marine”, as a good place to start with his poetry, as it is one of the poems that I started with and has stayed my favourite. After that, ...

Le vide papier que la blancheur défend

41 days ago by Larisa

I am sitting in the kitchen, books on Mallarmé all around me, watching the reflection of the sunset in the trees.

Putting the referendum in context

140 days ago by Anita

Firstly, a couple of facts: This is Sheryl Savill’s petition not Larry Baldock’s. Savill, a staff member at Focus on the Family’s New Zealand organisation put this forward before Baldock jumped on the referendum bandwagon.

Research/Adventure

156 days ago by Larisa

In order to obtain the promised funding for my recent trip to NYC, I needed to justify my gallivanting about to the Department of Graduate Studies with cold, hard evidence in the form of boarding passes, an expense report and a written report about the value of this adventure to my research. Today, ...
