Update 

 We were delighted to be a part of the publication of Peter Rawnsley's last book of poems. 

The Book was launched on Sunday 26th July in Plimmerton, at a happy celebration of Peters literary life. We did not know that it was to be the last time that he would be in public.

Sadly Peter passed away on the 28th August 2026. Consequently we gave all our copies of the book to the family and mourners as the final act in Peters life. He was a delightful man, with a wide range of interests and enthusiasms for life.

His beautiful eulogy was accompanied by pictures of him in nature and on the beach at Karehana bay. This was his most happy place and why his poems so often invoke nature themes. We were privileged to know Peter and his family in a private capacity as friends. He is already sadly missed.

Launched!

'It's fire and water, it's life and death. That's the crux of it.'    Wendy Vink

Marmac Media is pleased to announce the arrival of  A STAKE IN THE GROUND. This beautiful collection of poems from eleven poets who have been writing for over twenty years was officially launched at Sunday 8th December 2024.

Eleven Poets coming from a range of backgrounds and experiences present a collection of poems. Their spiritual roots are varied – Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, no category. But they share a common sense of a bigger reality. The collection explores life, but always underneath there is that strong, or faint, sense of mystery.

This collection of poems comes from two decades of writing together. The poets are Martin de Jong, Trish Harris, Adrienne Jansen, Amanda Keogh, Judy McMillan, Anne Powell, Peter Rawnsley, Miriam  Richardson, Barbara Sampson, Wendy Vink, and Michael Watson.

  'I live precariously, in the open place.' Barbara Sampson
