Last
Thursday at Unity Books Wellington an eclectic mix of customers welcomed
three new exciting publications by Lawrence & Gibson. It was a glorious
evening with plenty of speeches from the publishing collective representative
Murdoch Stephens, one of our own ex-Unity crew William Dewey, a symmetrically
rhythmical Dick Whyte and absent-in-body-but-present-in-spirit Richard Meros.
William
Dewey presented his latest baby The Homeland of Pure Joy. Dick Whyte
explained the ideas behind the Haiku News Anthology 2009-2011 he
co-edited with Laurence Stacey, and Murdoch Stephens read out a surprisingly
short version of Richard Meros’ long thoughts on his latest creation Easy
Whistle Solo.
What a
joyous evening it was. A trinity, a trolligy, a triumvirate ? What is it called
? Anyway, much fun had by all.
