Karl Stead & Charlotte Grimshaw
We feature father-daughter writing duo C.K. Stead and Charlotte Grimshaw. They're both winners of the Mansfield Menton Fellowship (Karl in 1972, Charlotte in 2024).
This year, Charlotte Grimshaw has won the New Zealand Society of Authors' President of Honour, a prestigious award recognising her superb writing skills in novels, short stories, and literary criticism.
Karl Stead, a writer, novelist, and former poet laureate, is 92. He's still writing. His latest collection of poems, In the Half Light of a Dying Day, is a finalist in the Ockham Poetry Awards. In stunningly beautiful poetry, he farewells his late wife Kay.
Charlotte Grimshaw, a columnist, novelist, biographer, and short-story writer, has a huge collection of accolades for her sharp eye, quick wit, and exquisite storytelling.
Like Katherine Mansfield, she's a risk-taker. In her literary life, she takes courage from Mansfield's quote, 'Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinions of others!'
