A Different Hat: Some Non-fiction Writings (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In the words of the Irish writer, Samuel Beckett: 'Make sense who may'. Here I put into book form some of my non-fiction writings as I hadn't noticed until recently, I had developed a considerable amount of work in this genre, having concentrated mainly on poetry and fiction, plus my publishing of other peoples' works.

I include in this tome some of the obituaries I have had published over the years dedicated to my friends in the literary world who have died, several of whom became close personal friends. I include some of the book reviews I have done, plus sections from my MA and PhD theses which were later published as books.

Add to the mix a section from my autobiography, plus extracts from the books I have written about the village I have lived in for over 25 years. Finally I proffer my bibliography of my published works.

Autorenporträt

Michael O'Leary is a poet, novelist, publisher, performer and bookshop proprietor who has been a magnetic figure for many other contemporary New Zealand writers. He writes in both English and Maori; and his diverse and prolific work in poetry, fiction and non-fiction explores his Irish heritage. Born in Auckland in the year of the Tiger 1950, he was educated at the universities of Auckland, Otago (Dunedin), and Victoria University (Wellington). His Earl of Seacliff Art Workshop imprint (inspired by Andy Warhol's 'Factory', the Beatles' Apple label, and John and Yoko's 'Plastic Ono Band'), which he founded in 1984, has published some of his own prolific output, as well as many other New Zealand writers. This press has also featured books by writers from other countries, including the first versions of Richard Berengarten's series, Manual, in four mini-books (2005-2009). The 240-page A-Z compilation, 25 Years of the Earl of Seacliff (ed. Mark Pirie, 2009), documents Michael O'Leary's versatile and influential oeuvre. Michael O'Leary is a trustee for the Poetry Archive of New Zealand Aotearoa (PANZA), a charitable trust dedicated to archiving, collecting and promoting New Zealand poetry. He now lives in Paekakariki, north of Wellington.
