Part prose-poetry, part visual essay, Timelights informs, entertains, questions, philosophises and reminisces as it carries the reader through its exploration of memory, place, and meaning. Follow the narrative from the turning winds blowing through a M&#257;ori cemetery, to melting snow in the mountains of Japan, to the gritty sights and smells of Sydney's streets. Timelights leaves the reader feeling oddly melancholic, reflecting on the passage of time; but may also cause euphoria.

Poetry

Most people know this South Taranaki district, between Harwera and Whanganui, if they know it at all, for Dalvanius, the P&#257;tea M&#257;ori Club and that seminal waiata, Poi E. They know it as a farming heartland or a rural backwater. In this anthology of poems, you will discover that there is so much more. This anthology includes an impressive array of both experienced poets and tyro. We are most excited by the new voices we have unearthed. Skeptics suggested that we would be "lucky to get twenty pages." Well, we got was over two hundred. There are gems, emeralds, and amethysts contained in these pages. Luxuriate with them! Ki ng&#257; iwi o P&#257;tea me ng&#257; rohe o waho, he mihi nui ki a matou. He mea whakamiharo koe, kua miharo koe, kua koa. Kia whakangahautia ki t&#275;nei pukapuka, n&#257; te mea nau tena! This is your book, enjoy it! "This original book which recognises the amazing talent we have in Patea, Wait&#333;tara and Waverley is overdue, and I am proud to support it." Tory Whanau (Pakakohi and Ngaruahine), Mayor of Wellington

From a girl growing up in Hawkes Bay to a woman living on Waiheke Island, 'My First Pash and Other Stories' offers a series of entertaining tales of a life lived in New Zealand. At times gipping, funny, tragic, and cathartic, these stories condense the experience of a whole life into a few pages. In her warm, frank and colloquial style, Soljak also offers a subtle yet biting critique of New Zealand society.
