Wellington Writer's Walk - James K. Baxter
This shows a sculpture that is part of the Wellington Writers Walk commemorating a poem by James K. Baxter, set in Wellington.
Full text of the poem:
The Maori Jesus
- James K. Baxter
I saw the Maori Jesus
Walking on Wellington Harbour.
He wore blue dungarees,
His beard and hair were long.
His breath smelled of mussels and paraoa.
When he smiled it looked like the dawn.
When he broke wind the little fishes trembled.
When he frowned the ground shook.
When he laughed everybody got drunk.
The Maori Jesus came on shore
And picked out his twelve disciples.
One cleaned toilets in the railway station;
His hands were scrubbed red to get the shit out of the pores.
One was a call-girl who turned it up for nothing.
One was a housewife who had forgotten the Pill
And stuck her TV set in the rubbish can.
One was a little office clerk
Who'd tried to set fire to the Government Buldings.
Yes, and there were several others;
One was a sad old quean;
One was an alcoholic priest
Going slowly mad in a respectable parish.
The Maori Jesus said, 'Man,
From now on the sun will shine.'
He did no miracles;
He played the guitar sitting on the ground.
The first day he was arrested
For having no lawful means of support.
The second day he was beaten up by the cops
For telling a dee his house was not in order.
The third day he was charged with being a Maori
And given a month in Mt Crawford.
The fourth day he was sent to Porirua
For telling a screw the sun would stop rising.
The fifth day lasted seven years
While he worked in the Asylum laundry
Never out of the steam.
The sixth day he told the head doctor,
'I am the Light in the Void;
I am who I am.'
The seventh day he was lobotomised;
The brain of God was cut in half.
On the eighth day the sun did not rise.
It did not rise the day after.
God was neither alive nor dead.
The darkness of the Void,
Mountainous, mile-deep, civilised darkness
Sat on the earth from then till now.
Age friendly cities and walkability - Gil Penalosa
What if walking, bicycling and public transport, instead of roads and highways, were at the heart of urban life? What if we started evaluating our cities based on a simple “8 80” rule: ensuring the safety and joy of children and older adults (from 8 year olds to 80 year olds) are at the forefront of our decision-making? How can we improve the quality of life for people of all ages amidst large demographic shifts? Gil Penalosa and Caroline Shaw talked about these questions at our seminar.
Gil Penalosa demonstrated how putting pedestrians first can be a powerful tool in addressing our most important global challenges. Caroline Shaw presented results from the recently completed report Benchmarking cycling and walking in six New Zealand cities: Pilot study 2015. This compared the infrastructure, funding and policies to promote walking and cycling of our largest cities and the rates of cycling and walking, safety and health of their inhabitants.
Gil Penalosa is the founder of the internationally recognised non-profit organisation 8 80 Cities, based in Canada. The organisation is based on a simple but powerful philosophy: if you create a great city for an 8 year old and an 80 year old, you will create a successful city for all people. In the 1990s Gil led the transformation of Bogota’s park system as Commissioner including the design and development of over 200 parks including Simon Bolivar, a 113 hectare park in the heart of the city. Gil’s team also initiated the “new Ciclovia”/ Open Streets – a programme that sees over 1.3 million people walk, run, skate and bike along 121 kilometres of Bogotá’s city roads every Sunday and today is internationally recognised and emulated. Gil is chair of the board of World Urban Parks, he also works for the renowned Danish firm Gehl Architects as an urban expert on mobility and citizen engagement and serves as senior advisor to Children & Nature Network, StreetFilms and America Walks.
This was a joint event between NZ Centre for Sustainable Cities, Wellington City Council and Living Streets Aotearoa held on 5 July 2016.

시민광장에서 멋스러운 다리를 건너면 바로 바다다. 이 앞바다는 웰링턴 시민들에게 보물과도 같다. 바닷가 산책길은 자전거를 빌려 타거나, 인라인 스케이트 타기에 제격이다. 바닷가를 걷는데, 벤치 위에 뭔가 글자가 적힌게 보인다. 웰링턴에 살았거나 웰링턴을 거쳐간 유명한 문인들이 도시에 대한 감상을 시나 산문으로 표현한 글들을 양각해 곳곳에 설치해놓은 것. 산책로를 따라 모두 11개가 있다는데, 숨은그림찾기보다 더 어려워 반쯤 찾다 포기했다. 오늘같이 해가 좋은 날이면 시민들은 노천카페에 앉아 커피나 아이스크림을 즐긴다. 웰링턴은 카페와 레스토랑이 많기로도 유명하다. 커피 한잔을 앞에 두고 지친 다리를 잠시 쉬어본다.
