Highlights - Arts on Sunday - Radio NZ National - 17 October 2011

2:20pm 
John Brebner and his wife Alison run Homeprint - a multi-faceted company which offers workshops and courses in letterpress printing, binding, papermaking and framing. John - a retired teacher - also collects art and represents two local artists. The limited edition books he produces are works of art in themselves - books for family, about printing techniques, life philosophy and poetry. Amelia Nurse went to visit John at his sprawling art-filled home in Feilding on a rainy Wednesday.

2.30pm 
Chapter & Verse: In her new book The Kindness of Your Nature, novelist Linda Olsson introduces us to a lonely woman weighed down by her memories, and an unloved child, who meet on a beach on the North Island West coast... And there's also a beach theme in environmentalist Nicola Easthope's first collection of poetry, leaving my arms free to fly around you.

2:57pm
 We remember former opera sensation, CNZ Chair, arts lover and patron, Chris Doig, who died this week from cancer.
