But Chan is, after all, a literary politician. This is his way of making himself look popular, well-liked, and anything other than a featherweight poetaster. I leave you with this gem: Maureen Miles Stephen Chan

Stephen Chan
"having had a letter from Peter Ireland about painting, unpredictability (sic) and the failure to love - and he saying why not send these three ones to Stephen Chan for the Festival Yearbook. A good bloke and a good critic-not full of his own shit like many young N.Z. poets. And I think O yes but what's the yearbook and how does one do it. But anyway."

Serenity Arts Festival
Serenity is an alternative arts festival which departs from the normal "heavy" concept. A cosmic, involving experience for those who wish to become involved...a vessel for genuine love and understanding. It will be held in the country district of Putiki, beside the Whanganui River, on December 14, 15, and 16.
There will be a minimal charge of $1.50 for the three days, enough to cover costs. There will be room to pitch tents and good cheap food will be available.
Bring your old 7-string banjo, your guitar, your dog, your loved one, or just yourself ... to sit in the sun with others and share your love.
Serenity will not he formalised; theatre groups, poets and musicians will be coming, but we feel there should be no great distinction between performers and audience If you can dance, sing or play, please get in touch with us!
We're printing a magazine, too, so your thoughts, writings and drawings will be welcome.
Serenity Arts Festival, Box 3723, Wellington.
