Textile traditions at heart<br />
of poet’s new creations<br />
• From page 1<br />
Jardine said: “My sort of<br />
research-poetic job is like a<br />
poetic essay on the loom weights<br />
research and how it relates to my<br />
own life and my own relationships<br />
with women in my family.<br />
“It’s highly likely that mothers<br />
were passing on loom weights to<br />
their daughters.<br />
“There are still these connotations<br />
around textile manufacture<br />
in the modern world as being<br />
sort of a woman-centric job, and<br />
it’s an interesting relationship to<br />
explore.”<br />
Jardine developed a passion for<br />
poetry as a student at Cashmere<br />
High School and said it is growing<br />
in popularity in Christchurch<br />
and New Zealand-wide.<br />
“I think that, although New<br />
Zealand has always had quite a<br />
rich writing scene, poetry in particular<br />
is really hot right now. I<br />
think more people are writing it,<br />
more people are appreciating it.”<br />
Jardine’s poems have been<br />
published before, including in<br />
Auckland University Press’s AUP<br />
New Poets 7, which was the number<br />
nine best selling book in New<br />
Zealand at one stage in August<br />
last year.<br />
Some of Claudia Jardine’s poems from AUP New Poets 7<br />
Sulpicia 3.16 – Nina Simone<br />
how nice it is<br />
your surrender to apathy<br />
me<br />
in decay<br />
let you have your harlots and<br />
their baskets<br />
pinned down in a pile of their<br />
own togas<br />
not this daughter of Servius<br />
sting of the pessimists<br />
fancy me giving in<br />
to a nameless bed<br />
Sulpicia 3.17 – Madonna<br />
surely surely<br />
your piety extends to the temple<br />
of your girl<br />
altars afire with fever?<br />
why choose to conquer<br />
wretched infection<br />
you not wishing it too<br />
what is the use in evisceration<br />
if you can stomach it<br />
heart unmoving?<br />
Jardine is also a accomplished<br />
musician, who released her first<br />
ep, North, in 2019.<br />
The other artists completing<br />
the residency are Jo Burzynska, a<br />
High Functioning<br />
I’m being eaten by my feelings<br />
face down in the mud<br />
like a farmer with a brain<br />

surrounded by piglets<br />
face down in the mud<br />
nudged and kneaded<br />
hither! the scoffing piglets<br />
me?<br />
fat pheasant flushed from the<br />
thicket<br />
nudged and kneaded<br />
tossed mid-air between kārearea<br />
flat present smushed under a<br />
winglet<br />
ex-lab rat on pingers on a<br />
treadmill<br />
receiving Aro Park autopsy by<br />
absent-minded accipiter<br />

rodents<br />

Get your tickets<br />
early for KidsFest<br />
IF THE prospect of keeping the<br />
kids entertained over the winter<br />
school holidays has you shaking<br />
in your boots, jump online<br />
now and get tickets sorted for<br />
KidsFest.<br />
The popular children’s festival<br />
has been keeping Christchurch<br />
kids occupied over the winter<br />
school holidays for the past three<br />
decades.<br />
Tickets for this year’s KidsFest<br />
are now available,<br />
While many of the events and<br />
activities during KidsFest are offered<br />
at no cost, tickets are often<br />
still required because of the limited<br />
amount of space available.<br />
“If you want to make sure<br />
you’ve got lots of activities lined<br />
up for the kids over the school<br />
holidays, I strongly advise you to<br />
get in early and secure tickets,’’<br />
says city council events and arts<br />
manager Tanya Cokojic.<br />
“If you leave booking tickets to<br />
the last minute, you might miss<br />
out because we expect there will<br />
be high demand for many of the<br />
events and activities that we have<br />
lined up over the course of the<br />
two week festival.’’<br />
Christchurch Symphony Orchestra’s<br />
presentation of Roald<br />
Dahl’s Little Red Riding Hood is<br />
FUN: Let your children<br />
immerse themselves in the<br />
world of helicopters at Air<br />
Force Museum.<br />
one of the events that could sellout<br />
fast. It is a musical adaptation<br />
of Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes.<br />
“Another event that we expect<br />
to spark large interest is the<br />
free helicopter fun day at Air<br />
Force Museum on July 21. Kids<br />
will be able to see real air force<br />
helicopters and climb aboard an<br />
Iroquois.<br />
“There will be craft activities<br />
for the kids and demonstrations<br />
of drones and radio controlled<br />
helicopters. Fortunately, this is<br />
one event that you don’t need to<br />
book for,’’ Cokojic said.<br />
