Sheep-shearing galas, Antarctic ponies, human clones, the Queen’s visit to Dunedin, a pounamu decoder, a childhood in the pubs of the South Island, the last days of Robert Louis Stevenson—this is Bill Manhire as backyard inventor, devising stories in which the fabulous and the everyday collide. THE STORIES OF BILL MANHIRE collects the stories from The New Land: A Picture Book (1990) and those added to South Pacific (1994) and Songs of My Life (1996). In addition there are previously uncollected and unpublished stories, the choose-your-own-adventure novella The Brain of Katherine Mansfield (1988), and the memoir Under the Influence (2003).
Bill Manhire founded and until recently directed the creative writing program at Victoria University. In 2015 he was the UNESCO Visiting Professor of Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia. Bill was New Zealand s inaugural poet laureate. His most recent book is "Selected Poems," which gathers work from a range of earlier prize-winning volumes. His short fiction has appeared in New Zealand as well as internationally in journals such as "Chelsea," "London Magazine," "PN Review "and "Meanjin.""
