Quote of the Week

"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." - JFK

When Sun and Moon Collide by Briar Grace-Smith
Huia Publishers

Isaac runs a tearoom in the middle of nowhere where he watches life and cars pass by his window each day. When two of his customers share a chance meeting, he finds himself embroiled in something very sinister.

“Powerfully imagined and psychologically astute”
New Zealand Listener
“…mix(es) the prosaic and poetic, the real and allegorical, the landlocked and astronomical…”
The National Business Review

A useful tool for teachers, this playscript of 'When Sun and Moon Collide' also has a comprehensive ‘Study Resource' located at the back of the book, written by Jean Betts.

"Nga mihimihi o te wa ki a koe. Kei te pai  tou Panui, he mahi ataahua. As my friend wrote to me this morning, when telling me about Rangikainga Issue 2, your panui is a "huge and wonderful compendium of the renaissance". The vibrancy of it all is so visible in this electronic format, and the news comes from nga hau e wha – all around the motu and indeed from te ao whanui."
