Feijoa
Kate Evans
Moa Press
Inspired by a personal obsession with this singular exotic fruit, Feijoa is a sweeping, global tale about the dance between people and plants - how we need each other, how we change each other, and the surprising ways certain species make their way into our imaginations, our stomachs, and our hearts.
Max Gunn's Pay Book.
Graham Lindsay
99% Press
Meticulously researched, authentically told, poetically rendered Graham Lindsay brings us the story of Max Gunn, a thoughtful and idealistic youth, who leaves New Zealand in 1940 to fight fascism in Europe. His experiences there over the next five years will shadow him for the rest of his life. Lindsay's careful attention detail brings the past to life. We feel like we can taste the broth 'that a turnip has swum through,' hear the songs of the soldiers, and feel the prick of the robinia's thorns.
