Karapu Lit: Ngā Tohuwāhi me ngā Tūru Pae
Baltimore, Maryland
NGĀ PUKAPUKA ME NGĀ PIA ME NGĀ TŪRANGA PAE... ā rātou tino pai. Ka taea e tēnei rōpū o Baltimore te pānui pukapuka me te pāti i te wā kotahi. Ā, kāore he maturuturunga iho—nhe kupu ranei-kua maringi.
He tino rawe te waitohu.
Ngā mihi. He whakahīhī tēnei ki a mātou. Nā Leanne Bledsoe, tētahi o ō mātou mema, i hoahoa.
Me pērā koe. Nō reira, kōrero mai ki a mātou me pēhea koe i tīmata ai.
I hiahia mātou ki te kimi huarahi hei tautoko i ā mātou pae inu ā-rohe, ā, he pai hoki ki a mātou te kōrero mō ngā pukapuka. Nō reira i whakakotahihia ai e mātou ngā mea e rua e tino pai ana ki a mātou.
Ā, nōnahea taua mea?
I te tau 2012. Kei a mātou ināianei he whārangi facebook...me te neke atu i te 100 ngā mema, engari i te nuinga o te wā ka tae mai ki waenganui i te 5 ki te 15 i ngā hui.
Me tākaro pia pong koe hei mema?
Kāo. Kāore hoki mātou e tumanako kia inu koe—ahakoa he mea nui kia pai koe ki te noho ki tētahi pae.
Ka tūtaki kōrua i ia rua marama anake. He aha tā kōrua mahi i waenganui?
He mahi tonu tā mātou— Te Ra Matapo me te Pukapuka, te whakaaturanga kiriata mō tētahi pukapuka e pānuihia ana e mātou, te haereere tuhituhi, te huihuinga rānei i tō mātou whare pukapuka ā-rohe (whakaahua me te haki whero, maui).
Kōrero mai ki a mātou i tāu i pānui ai i ngā wā tata nei.
Ae. I tēnei tau kua pānuihia e tātou...
♦ Te Moana i te Pito o te Ara
♦ Tuhinga o mua
♦ Kei te noho tahi te katoa
Ki te kore ahau?
♦ Nga Hire o Titan
♦ Kīngi Peggy
He aha ngā mea tino pai i roto i ngā tau?
Āe, koinei ngā mea kei te tihi o te rārangi:
Ko te Whakapono Pukapuka ♦ Wild ♦ Te Keemu a EnderHe pukapuka pai te tuhi e whakaputa ana i ngā kare ā-roto, ngā whakaaro, me ngā kōrero e pā ana ki aua pukapuka.
He aha ngā mea e pouri ana koe?
Ko te pukapuka tuatahi i pānuihia e mātou, nā Teju Cole Tuwhera Taone, kāore i angitu. I rite ki te kore e taea e mātou te uru atu, he maroke te kōrero, ā, he iti noa ngā mema i taea te hono atu ki ngā kiripuaki. He kōrero pai rawa atu i homai ki a mātou.
He aha rā te tikanga—nā te mea kāore koe i pai ki te pukapuka?
Āe, i ētahi wā, ko te kōrero mō ngā mea KĀORE e pai ki a koe i roto i te pukapuka he rite tonu te whakamere ki ngā mea e pai ana ki a koe. Tuwhera Taone, i mārama ake mātou ki tā te kaituhi i whakaaro ai, me tā mātou i kite ai.
Ā, me pēhea ngā pukapuka i ārahi ki ngā kōrero tino pai?
Te Pakanga o te Ao Z: He Hītori ā-Waha mō te Pakanga Tūpāpaku He kōrero pai rawa atu. I kōrero mātou mō te aro nui o tō tātou ahurea ki te whakangaromanga o ngā tūpāpaku, te tirohanga a ngā ahurea rerekē ki te pakanga, me ngā hua o tētahi momo mate urutā o te ao.
I pai hoki ki a mātou te kōrero Te Keemu a Ender. Engari he maha ngā kare ā-roto i pā ki tēnei pukapuka nā te tūnga o te kaituhi mō ngā tika o te hunga LGBTQ—nā reira, kāore tetahi o mātou i hoko i te pukapuka; i namahia e mātou, i hokona rānei e mātou i mua i te whakamahinga. Ki ētahi, Te Keemu a Ender He pukapuka whakamahara ki ngā mahara, engari he mea hou ki ētahi.
Me pēhea tāu whiriwhiri i ō pukapuka?
He miro kōrero kei a mātou i runga i te Pukamata e tono ana i ngā whakaaro. Mēnā he nui ake ngā whakaaro i ngā marama e hiahiatia ana, ka tukuna e mātou hei pōti.
He ture karapu?
Kāore rawa, engari e "tino taunakihia ana" kia pānuihia e koe te pukapuka. Waihoki, ko tā mātou kaupapa matua ko te whakaute tetahi ki tetahi i roto i te karapu (ahakoa kāore tēnei i waiho hei take, nō reira ehara i te "ture" mana).
I kōrero koe i runga ake nei "Te Rā Matapo me te Pukapuka." He aha te mahi?
♦ Kōwhiria tētahi pukapuka (e rua rānei!) e hiahia ana koe ki te whakawhiti.
♦ Tākaihia ki roto i tētahi pēke pepa parauri.
♦ Ki runga i te putea (ki runga rānei i te tapanga), tuhia he whakaahuatanga poto mō te pukapuka, kaua e nui rawa te kōrero. Me rite te tangi ki tētahi kōtaha whakaipoipo:
Hei tauira: "He pukapuka whakaoho whakaaro me te mutunga whakakoi, ka noho ara koe i te pō katoa e whakaaroaro ana ki te tikanga o te ao. He pukapuka kore-pūrākau. He whakamaharatanga." he "Ngahau me te taha whakatoi. Ka kata koe i roto i tēnei pukapuka. He pakiwaitara."
♦ Kawea mai ki te huihuinga, ā, ka whiriwhiria e koe tētahi pukapuka hou hei kawe ki te kāinga!
Ngā kaupapa whakatairanga hapori?
I tautoko mātou i tētahi tamaiti i te kaupapa pānui raumati i tō mātou whare pukapuka ā-rohe i te tau kua hipa. I ia tau ka whai wāhi atu mātou ki te ONE MARYLAND, ONE BOOK, arā, ka pānuihia e mātou te pukapuka, ka kōrerohia hoki, ā, ka toro atu mātou ki te kōrero a te kaituhi i te Baltimore Book Festival (Tirohia te whakaahua o Steven Galloway).
He mea anō tāu e hiahia ana ki te waiho mai mā mātou?
Ehara mātou i te rōpū "kati". Mēnā kei te hiahia tetahi o te rohe (Baltimore) ki te toro atu mō tētahi kōrero (ahakoa he toro atu koe ki te tāone, he pukapuka rānei e tino hiahia ana koe), he hiahia rānei koe ki te haere mai i ia marama, nau mai haere mai!
Hei whakamutunga, me pēhea e whakaahua ai koe i tō karapu?
He whānuitia ngā reanga o tō mātou rōpū—mai i te tīmatanga o te 20 ki te 60 tau—he whānuitanga o ngā ira tangata me te hiahia ā-ira tangata. He whakaute, he whakaaro nui hoki ō mātou mema tetahi ki tetahi. He tino aroha mātou katoa ki ngā pukapuka—ā, ko te nuinga o mātou he aroha pia!
