The following are the time markers that frame this book:
My stay in Auckland itself was bookended by two major earthquakes: we arrived just days after the Christchurch earthquake, and then as we were packing our bags, the 3/11 earthquake in Japan and the subsequent nuclear disaster forced us to postpone our return. To be honest, it took me a while to write into a notebook that had been presented to me in such a particular context, especially since so much of my writing practice had shifted to the computer and other digital devices over the last few years. What finally made its way into this tapa notebook are exerpts and fragments from my diary word file (and as I type these words I am made aware of the fact that I have never even told anyone that I was doing such a thing!). I originally thought I would include the dates from which they were taken, an idea that lasted for only a few entries before the system broke down and the writing strayed, meandered, took its own course. So, what results is a notebook of fragments that originated sometime between March 2011 and August or September 2012. Links
