Landfall 215
Waiting for Godzone
Guest edited by Paul Morris, Mike Grimshaw
Poetry editor Harry Ricketts
By turns playful and serious, Waiting for Godzone looks at contemporary spirituality in Aoteoroa New Zealand. It features a diverse array of writers responding to 'the big questions': poetry by C.K. Stead, Gregory O'Brien and Diana Bridge, short fiction by Norman Bilbrough and Laura Solomon, essays on 'The South Island Myth', the angel in art, and on Colin McCahon.
Landfall 215 also contains in-depth reviews by Peter Mattheson on Michael King's Illustrated History of New Zealand, Mark Williams on Dan Davin, Cilla McQueen on new collections by C.K. Stead, Charles Spear and Alistair Te Ariki Campbell, and Richard Reeve on the New Zealand Public Intellectual.
Wellington photographer Mary MacPherson is the issue's featured artist, with her portfolio Plant Life.

Review Quotes
‘The range of this issue is impressive … For anyone who is trying to theologically “read” the nation’s cultural life or wants an overview of the spiritual and creative range to be found, Landfall 215 is required reading.’ – Anglican Taonga, 30 September 2008
‘… this edition of Landfall offers much to wrestle with in a mode of thought by no means dead … that is Landfall’s messianic mission, to raise controversy, to praise where it is due and examine values at their deepest level.’ – Wairarapa Times-Age, September 2008
