We hope you can join us to celebrate the launch of Kaitiaki o te Pō: Essays, the debut book by John-Paul Powley, and Seraph Press's first exciting foray into publishing non-fiction prose.

When: Sunday 2nd December at 4pm
Where: Aro Valley Community Centre, 48 Aro Street, Aro Valley, Wellington

All welcome - bring your kids!

Copies of Kaitiaki o te Pō will be for sale for $35.

About the book: In these brilliant and wide-ranging essays John-Paul Powley harnesses the power of stories to tell us about ourselves and where we come from. Acting as ‘kaitiaki o te pō,’ a caretaker of history and memory, Powley combines memoir with history and cultural criticism to create essays that expand far beyond the simply personal. A powerful debut of an arresting new voice.

About the author: John-Paul Powley lives in Wellington with his wife and two daughters. He has taught English in Japan, and history and social studies in New Zealand.
