Our Land
‘Timeless
Land’
is a literary collaboration
between
three of
New Zealand’s iconic talents:
painter
Grahame Sydney, poet Brian Turner and writer Owen Marshall.
In the introduction, Sam Neill writes
...
“Central. The deep
heart of the
South Island
of
New Zealand. Central,
together they bring clarity and light to the particular, they celebrate
the unique. I think they,
like me, are saying “Where else would you want to be from?”
With growing familiarity, my favourite part of Central has become
the least obvious: the Maniototo.
Quintessential Otago.
Recognition not only of the physicality of the place, its silent beauty.
But also recognition of how you feel in that place, recognition
of one’s self. The
exhilaration of solitude that is inseparable from the terror of
loneliness.”
Timeless Land.
Winner of the 1996
New Zealand
Pride of Print Supreme Award.
