Mansfield fellowship awarded
PA Wellington A Massey University lecturer, Mr Michael Jackson, has been named the 1982 Katherine Mansfield Memorial Fellow. The fellowship, announced by the Mayor of Wellington. Sir Michael Fowler, will enable Mr Jackson to travel to Menton, southern France, to study and write in the Katherine Mansfield memorial room at the Villa Isola Bella. Mr Jackson has taught social anthropology at Massey since 1973. He has had several books published, including two of poetry. “Latitudes of Exile — Poems 1965-1975,” won the 1976 Commonwealth Poetry Prize and “Wall” won the poetry prize in this year’s New Zealand Book Awards. “In spite of the fact that I have managed to write five books, I have found the division of my energies between teaching and writing increasingly onerous and exhausting.” Mr Jackson said. “I have resolved, therefore, to leave university teaching for a few years and devote all my time and energy to creative writing."
