The authors and editors of Spectrum 5 are grateful for the support of our lecturers, families, publishers and friends. In particular, we thank Jeremy Sherlock and Gillian Tewsley from Penguin Group (NZ), for their valuable guidance and supporting the project; Pindar (NZ), for generously donating their services; Associate Professor Lisa Samuels, who has given her time and energy to reading our collection and writing a fabulous introduction; and the staff of the University of Auckland English Department, for their expertise and enthusiasm during our studies.
We are especially indebted to Professor Witi Ihimaera, who established the original Spectrum anthology, and has continued to support successive editions. Last but not least, we thank Emily Perkins, the 2007 convenor of ‘Creative Writing: The Short Story’, for her passion, talent, and encouragement.
We hope you will enjoy this latest edition of short stories from graduate writers. We have been thrilled to have been a part of the University of Auckland’s creative writing tradition.
