Welcome to Town, fifty stories and fifty images by
writer and photographer Madeleine Slavick, who
lived in Hong Kong for almost twenty-five years
before moving to a Wairarapa country road that
runs from state highway to bush.

In a valley along a highway, four consecutive towns,
as if someone had once skipped a stone.

Each town takes its English name after a British man
of the 1800s and offers free Wi-Fi.
Sunned dry mountains to the east, clouds clinging
to damp ones in the west. Are we safe in the
middle? Are we bored?

Madeleine Slavick was born and educated in
USA, lived in Hong Kong for almost twenty-five
years and now lives in Wairarapa, Aotearoa. She
is the author of Something Beautiful Might Happen,
Fifty Stories Fifty Images, delicate access ????
and Round: Poems and Photographs of Asia. Town is
her first book published in New Zealand.
