Thanks to the generosity of Jan Kemp, acclaimed NZ poet and KMS member, we have a significant number of additions to our KM-related image database. These can all be accessed by going to our Resource section and then clicking on KM Image Collections. There are now images of Bandol, Bad Worishofen, the Menton exhibition of 2009 and Fontainebleau-Avon (the cemetery and the Prieure). This database of images is being constantly updated. Please do check back frequently!
In addition, we have now put up a gallery of photos from our Menton symposium. If you were fortunate enough to be there and have some photos of the event to share, please send them to us!
The KMS is thrilled to be able to showcase in our Resource section an unusual play about Katherine Mansfield, by Rachel McAlpine, called The Dazzling Night. Rachel is a novelist, poet, playwright, and author of about 30 books. From 1993-1995 she was Guest Professor at Doshisha Women's College of Liberal Arts in Kyoto, Japan. There she learned to love the ritualistic, meditative, alien beauty of Noh theatre, and also met many Katherine Mansfield devotees. Writing The Dazzling Night, a Noh play about Katherine Mansfield, was the inevitable result. The play has had one successful production in Auckland. For information about other aspects of Rachel's life, see www.writing.co.nz.
