Podcast appearances and mentions of margaret mahy

Claire Mabey discusses her pick from the Booker shortlist; previews author Patrick Ness' visit to New Zealand and enthuses about The Changeover by legend Margaret Mahy and it's 40-year anniversary.

When you look around Greater Christchurch, do you look around and think “oh, we could handle another 100-or-so thousand people living here”?  Do you think to yourself “our roads aren't clogged up, our schools aren't overcrowded, we've got plenty of houses”? Do you think that?  Or does it feel to you like we're just getting by with what we've got, with the population we've got?  I think we're just getting by and, if we don't wake up, we're going to be another Auckland before we know it.   There are a couple of things today that have got me thinking about this. The first is this report from the Infrastructure Commission which pretty much says —when it comes to infrastructure— we kind of know what we need to do, and we just need to do it.  And one of the key issues it identifies is population growth and how we're going to deal with it.  The other thing that's got me thinking about how disorganised we are for having a truckload more people living here is what Selwyn mayor Sam Broughton is saying today about population growth in his area. He's saying that, in 10 years time, the population of Selwyn will be bigger than the population of Dunedin.  Dunedin's population by the way is currently about 130,000. And Sam Broughton thinks there'll be more people than that living in Selwyn in 10 years time.  Rolleston, especially, is going nuts. As of last year, the population of Rolleston was 29,600. Almost triple what it was in 2013. As for the population of the wider Selwyn district - as of last year, it was 81,300, which was a 5.2% increase on the year before.  Compare that to the whole country's population growth over the same period - which was 2.1%. So nationally, 2.1% population growth. In Selwyn, 5.2%. And these are the numbers that have prompted Sam Broughton to say that, 10 years from now, there'll be more people living in Selwyn than Dunedin.  And it's not just Selwyn. It seems to me that the whole of Greater Christchurch is going nuts - or not far away from going nuts, anyway.  Let's look at Christchurch city's population. At the moment —according to the Christchurch City Council website— the population in the city is 396,200 – that's as of June last year.  After the earthquakes, the numbers went down by about 21,000 people. But things have bounced back - in fact, they had bounced back by 2017. And, it seems to me, that there's no shortage of people wanting to come here from around the country.  The universities —Lincoln and UC— are going off big time, which is such a change from how things were after the quakes.  And, as for population growth in Christchurch, the numbers in terms of projections seem to vary a bit but there's no doubt the city is going to have more people —not less— in the future. Numbers I've seen this morning say the population of Christchurch could be as high as 445,000 in 10 years time, and well over half a million in about 15 years time.  So, a lot of variables, but there's going to be more people here in a pretty short time.  Are we ready for that? I don't think we are. At least when you consider how things are at the moment.  We've got someone here at work who says it can take her 45 minutes to get from where we are on Armagh Street by the Margaret Mahy playground - it can take her 45 minutes in the evenings to get from here to Brougham Street. And then she's got the drive to Rolleston from there.  I don't think we're ready when you consider the likes of Cashmere High School making its zone smaller and smaller in recent years because it's struggling to cope with the number of kids living in its enrolment area.  I don't think we're ready when you consider that we still don't have properly functioning infrastructure like the fire-damaged wastewater plant and that organics plant that's been making life miserable for people in the East.  The traffic on Brougham Street. Do you reckon that piece of road is ready to cope with gazillions more people coming in from Rolleston? If Sam Broughton is right and there are more people living in Selwyn than Dunedin in 10 years time - then we're going to need some pretty serious changes there, aren't we?  Especially when you consider that stat that was thrown around at the time of the big stadium debate, that 50% of the people who currently live in Selwyn travel into Christchurch everyday for work, school and other things.  So I don't think we are ready and we need to wake up.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand month begins with a classic text: Margaret Mahy's The Catalogue of the Universe (1985).Brenna and Joe discuss the literary prose, the need (even in the 80s) to use romance to sell YA, and the divisive reader reactions to our dual protagonists.Plus: great families, a wild finale, and an overview of Mahy's prolific career...which weirdly never made a splash in North America.Wanna connect with the show?

The Changeover was first published in 1984 so while I am celebrating a milestone, it's not far behind. As I have already established while talking about other 1980s YA novels, these were few and far between during that era. The happy medium where books were written with more grown-up themes targeting an audience that was going through changes was incredibly rare. Sure, we had Judy Blume, Sweet Valley High and the Sweet Dreams series, but really, that was it. The Changeover was an original, probably would be classified as a Romantasy and it's the first book I became obsessed with. A story of growth and change, of realisations and first loves, loss, and awakening. I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I would love if this made you want to give it a chance. As ever, this episode is spoiler-free, though it was hard to keep it that way! Featured episodes Mel Easy Connections and Easy Freedom

Celebrate Valentine's with this fascinating, bizarre and indelible tale of love among young witches - we're reading The Changeover, by Margaret Mahy! We meet Laura Chant and her young brother Jacko, who are living a mostly-peaceful life in the Christchurch suburbs punctuated by Laura's “warnings,” psychic premonitions that never bode well. When an ancient demon disguised as a terrifying shopkeeper places his mark on Jacko and begins extracting his life force, Laura enlists local teen oddball (and prefect) Sorry Carlisle, who seems to have more than a touch of magic about him. Laura and Sorry discover a path forward that places Laura firmly in her own power and brings them closer together. Children of divorce, teen awkwardness, Enya-esque rituals and more than one romance novel wait inside (all wrapped up in Mahy's exceptional prose) - join us!Thanks to all the listeners who requested this and brought Mahy into our lives!MUSIC - Pippin the Hunchback and Thatched Villagers by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) - Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

I first realised it this week, running through the city and around Hagley Park on one of those beautiful, still, cold South Island evenings.   For me, it was a long time coming. Twelve years and three months, all up.  Maybe others felt it earlier. Maybe others haven't reached the point yet. I know those who've lived in Christchurch right throughout, who never left the city, might have a completely different perspective, and that's ok.   But as a Cantab at heart, for the first time I feel I can say it with absolute confidence. It's emphatic. Christchurch has crossed the threshold. For the first time since 2010 I reckon the city today is better than it was before the quakes.  There's no one thing. There's one project or development that's pushed it past that point. It's a collection of little things that make Ōtautahi so good.  For starters, the city. Finally the Cathedral isn't just lying in ruin. The remote-controlled digger cleaning up the masonry and bird crap finished its job in record time. The build's progressing, and fast.  Te Pae, Christchurch's glorious new convention centre, is a stupendous venue. Across the road, Tūranga, the new library is surely the best of any big city in New Zealand. The art gallery is amazing. The Margaret Mahy playground is the stuff dreams are madeof for kids and adults alike.  The food in Christchurch is so good. Christchurch's old strip was seedy as, but Riverside Market, The Terrace, and New Regent Street have energy and life.   The central city's new shape works with Ōtakaro, the Avon River. The water's clear and clean and meanders from the gleaming new buildings down near the splendid historic Arts Centre, and into the World-class Botanic Gardens.  I bristle with envy when I think of all the things on Christchurch's doorstep. Taylors Mistake, New Brighton, and Sumner have surf. Mt Hutt has snow. Lyttelton has perhaps the most interesting music and arts community in New Zealand. Hagley Oval has a gorgeous cricket ground and the Christchurch Adventure Park is the gateway to World-class mountain biking.   There are young people in the city and they want to be there. At a time when many New Zealand universities are being forced to cut jobs, Canterbury University is hiring. This year, they tell me the university is on track for a record number of students. Domestic enrolments are up. International enrolments are up. There are students from 100 countries studying at Canterbury, from Mozambique to Myanmar to Mongolia. The number of people enrolled is up 7% at the end of March compared to the same time last year. It's the University's 150th birthday this year, and the halls of residence are at absolute capacity.   The cost of housing in Christchurch is so much cheaper than Auckland, and the quality is so much less depressing than in Wellington. It's younger than Tauranga, more coastal than Hamilton and warmer than Dunedin.   I know it's not perfect. I know how much pain and stress it's taken to get things to this point. I'm under no illusions that places out East – Bromley, in particular – have a hell of a long way to go. The sprawl North and West means the traffic can be a total pain.  But with good leadership and planning, the city should only get better. Maybe it's too big. Maybe it's too expensive. But just imagine the atmosphere in town for that first All Blacks test in Te Kaha.   Years ago when I was living in New York, I asked the city's chief urban designer about lessons from Manhattan's recovery after the 9/11 attacks. He had a tear in his eye when he spoke to me about the transformation he'd experienced.   “Instead of asking yourself what happens if you get it wrong, ask yourself the opposite,” he said.   “What happens if Christchurch is too good? What happens if you remake your city and it's so good that everyone wants to live there?”  I don't reckon we're far off. Christchurch has energy. Christchurch has mojo. Christchurch is better than ever.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's another fantastic package - beautiful to look at, beautiful to hold and full of amazing poems written by New Zealanders. Some of the writers are children and many are well-known poets such as Elizabeth Smither, James K. Baxter, Margaret Mahy, Bill Manhire, Cilla McQueen, and Sam Hunt. From computers and robots to moa and tuatara, from popcorn and mud pies to drought and howling wind.Edited by Jo Noble.

A story for all occasions.

Margaret Mahy is New Zealand's most celebrated children's writer. She wrote over 100 books, published in 15 different languages, and continues to be read around the world. In May 2000, Alison Gray interviewed Margaret for the New Zealand Society of Authors Oral History Project.

In today's pod: Margaret Mahy's former Banks Peninsula home goes up for sale; National's deputy leader Shane Reti talks about our relationship with Australia, vaccines and the Canterbury floods and we hear about the beginning of the cleanup for Ashburton as residents look to return home.

Margaret Mahy's old book collection may go back to the community if a bid to purchase her former home and turn it into a space for locals and aspiring writers is successful.Mahy died in 2012 and had lived in the three-bedroom house in Governors Bay near Christchurch since 1968, where she raised her two daughters.The cottage has a rating valuation of $640,000 and is on the market with a deadline sale of June 11.Her daughter, Penny Mahy, told the Herald the house is owned by her younger sister Bridget and after nine years, she has made the difficult decision to sell.When asked what she thought of the proposal to turn it into a community facility and writers retreat, Penny Mahy said they absolutely love the idea."I know since the house has gone on the market a lot of locals are banding together and hoping to save it and preserve it, which would be lovely."Mahy said the house still boasts a number of in-built bookshelves."It's probably a little bit excessive for most families these days but when we grew up in the house basically every wall was covered in books."Margaret Mahy owned hundreds of books that were stacked along 170 lineal metres of bookshelving, she said, most of which now belong to Penny and Bridget."She had an amazing collection. She brought everything she could find by other New Zealand authors as well."It's probably a fabulous flat catalogue of first editions of pretty much everything written for children or young adults in New Zealand."If the house is purchased by the community, Mahy said they would be '"certainly" consider donating the books."At the moment, they're in storage in cardboard boxes. So much of Margaret's personal identity was her library."It would be lovely to see that collection saved and be available as a resource going forward."Mahy wrote more than 160 picture books, novels and collections of short stories before her death.Governors Bay resident and founder and director of Christchurch's Hagley Writers' Institute, Morrin Rout, said a group of locals would like to purchase the house and make it available for schools and general public as well as establish a writer in residence programme."It would be a huge shame if we were to lose this opportunity to own it and we are working as quickly as we can to find support and advice on how we can retain this taonga and have a permanent and very personal place to remember and celebrate this remarkable and greatly loved writer."text by Devon Bolger, NZ Herald

The magic of weaving poetry and music together is on show in this Going West session from 2017.  Paula Green, poet, anthologist, reviewer and children's author, with her newly minted honours and awards, shares the stage in a charming conversation with poet, short story writer and academic Bill Manhire, and jazz composer and performer Norman Meehan, as they disclose the alchemy of setting poetic text as song. They discuss their latest collaboration, the riddle project, Tell Me My Name, and along the way Bill Manhire reads two of his poems Frolic and I am quiet when I call. This session took place the day after Manhire, Meehan and friends delivered a captivating opening night performance, https://t.co/Kb3PUgKKtX?amp=1 (Small Holes in the Silence )for the Going West audience. Paula Green describes Bill Manhire's poems as ‘music chambers' and when she asks Norman Meehan to describe the words that characterise their collaborative partnership he replies:  “The first word I would use is ‘work'.  I love work... to paraphrase Margaret Mahy, who said stories confer structure upon our lives. I think work confers a kind of structure on our lives, it gives us a still turning-point… So it's wonderful work...  And the other side of it is I suppose, love, or affection… and that permeates everything we do... So I would say ‘work' and ‘love'… for me they are big themes in life really, they're our pole stars.” 

We think of New Zealand literature as matter of fact, no-nonsense, social realism territory. But beneath the stoic surface we seem to have an extraordinary fantasy life. Margaret Mahy, The Vintner's Luck, comic-books and comedy horror films. It took a Kiwi to come up with The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and don't even mention the Lord of the Rings and Narnia movies, all but one directed by New Zealanders. And now an anthology of home-grown sci-fi, fantasy, genre, speculative fiction has arrived. It's called Monsters in the Garden. It's co-edited by Elizabeth Knox and David Larsen, with contributions from the cream of our most imaginative writers. Elizabeth Knox and one of the stellar contributors, Dylan Horrocks speak to Simon Morris about the book.

Robert Kelly takes a look at the work of some of our favourite children's authors, including Lynley Dodd, Shel Silverstein and Margaret Mahy.
