I do want to point out that the popular poets and popular poems here, the Mary Oliver type, are rarely from Black poets (I’m very keen on the “Black” of it all). You might see Audre Lorde in passing, maybe Lucille Clifton, but very few Black poets are widely circulated, reblogged, screenshotted on this site and  for me that’s a difficult pill to swallow. And they’re quite easy to find too, so...This has nothing to do with “representation” or “diversity” but about erasure and who seems to exist in the poetic imagination.

Tis indeed a miracle, one must feel, that two such heavenly creatures are real, hatred burning bright in the brown eyes with enemies for fuel, icy scorn glitters in the gray eyes, contemptuous and cruel. Why are men such fools they will not realize, the wisdom that is hidden behind those strange eyes and these wonderful people are you and I.

The Parker-Hulme case

Pauline Yvonne Parker (aka Pauline Rieper) was born on 26 May 1938. She met Juliet Hulme, who was born in London, when they were both in their early teens.  They both attended Christchurch Girls' High School.  Both girls had debilitating illnesses as children – Parker osteomyelitis and Hulme tuberculosis – and they initially bonded over it. According to Parker's accounts, she and Hulme both romanticized the idea of being sick.  

As their friendship developed, Parker and Hulme formed an elaborate fantasy life together. They wrote plays, books, and stories centred in this world. The girls became nearly obsessed with one another, to the point that Parker's parents became concerned that the girls were engaged in a sexual relationship; homosexuality at the time was considered a serious mental illness. The Hulmes also had concerns, but both families continued to allow the girls to see one another, and Parker was accepted at the Hulme home in Ilam for overnights and vacations. Hulme became withdrawn and ill when Parker would leave her home without her.

During their relationship, the girls invented their own personal religion, with their own ideas on morality. They rejected Christianity and worshipped their own saints, envisioning a parallel dimension called The Fourth World, essentially their version of Heaven. The Fourth World was a place that they felt they were already able to enter occasionally, during moments of spiritual enlightenment. By Parker's account, they had achieved this spiritual enlightenment because of their friendship.

Parker was not invited to go to Ilam over the summer holidays in 1953 as she had been in previous years. In 1954, Hulme's parents separated. Problems with faculty and the board forced Hulme’s father to resign from his position as rector of the university, and her mother was carrying on an extramarital affair. Hulme's family planned to return to England, but it was decided that Hulme herself would be sent to live with relatives in South Africa—ostensibly for her health.

Both girls were heartbroken over their upcoming separation and decided that Parker should go to South Africa as well. They thought the Hulmes would agree to this plan, though in fact they were unlikely to allow it. Parker was certain her mother would not allow her to go with Hulme. The girls then formed a plan to murder Parker's mother in order to remove the one perceived obstacle of remaining together. Their long term plan was to go to South Africa and then head to Hollywood or New York City, where they believed they would publish their writing and work in film.

On the afternoon of 22 June 1954, Parker and Hulme had gone for a walk with Parker's mother, Honorah Rieper, through Victoria Park in Christchurch. Approximately 130 metres (430 ft) down the path, in a wooded area of the park near a small wooden bridge, Hulme and Parker bludgeoned Rieper to death with half of a brick enclosed in an old stocking. After committing the murder, which they had planned together, the two girls, covered in blood, fled back to the tea kiosk where the three of them had eaten only minutes before. They were met by Agnes and Kenneth Ritchie, owners of the tea shop, whom they told that Rieper had fallen and hit her head.

Rieper's body was discovered in Victoria Park by Ritchie. Major lacerations were found about her head, neck, and face, with minor injuries to her fingers. Police soon discovered the murder weapon in the nearby woods. The girls' story of Rieper's accidental death quickly fell apart.

The trial was a sensational affair, with speculation about the girls' possible lesbianism and insanity. Parker and Hulme were convicted on 28 August 1954; and, as they were too young to be considered for the death penalty, each spent five years in prison. Some sources say they were released on condition that they never contact each other again, but Sam Barnett, then Secretary for Justice, told journalists there was no such condition. Hulme's release was unconditional, and she immediately re-joined her father in Italy, while Parker was placed on six months' parole in New Zealand, after which she left the country.

The Lesbian Killers Of The Century

It was June 22nd, 1954 when 15 and 16 year old Juliet Marion Hulme (left) and Pauline Yvonne Parker (right) brutally murdered Parker’s mother on a walk in a public park of Christchurch, New Zealand. 

The teenage girls became close friends in high school, bonding over their passion for art, music and literature. Things took a turn for the worse when they became emotionally and physically hysterical, where they would release touch of reality and make love to eachother, causing great concern for their parents. When Juliet Hulme’s parents decided to divorce and send their infatuated daughter to South Africa, Pauline Parker pleaded with her mother to let her join Juliet and the woman naturally refused. In outrage, the girls decided to make a plan that would change their lives forever.

Honorah Mary Parker was found dead on an isolated path in the hills of Victoria Park, a thick forest located on a hillside. Autopsy revealed Parker and Hulme barbarically bludgeoned the woman over 20 times with a brick till she died. 

Juliet Hulme and Pauline Parker were too young for the death sentence, so the jury sentenced them both to prison till authorities believe they have done their time. The pair now live in their 70s in Europe and underneath new names.

We practically finished our books today and our main idea for the day was to moider Mother. This notion is not a new one, but this time it is a definite plan which we intend to carry out. We have worked it out carefully and are both thrilled by the idea. Naturally we feel a trifle nervous, but the pleasure of anticipation is great. I shall not write the plan down here as I shall write it up when we carry it out (I hope). We both spent last night and the one before having a simply wonderful time in every possible way. We also planned a few odd pictures and recast most of the "Saints' Christmas." We burnt all our film books this evening.

“Recently, Pauline had become so obsessed with her desire to join the club, police say, that she had threatened her mother that she would kill her if she were not given a pony. Charged with the murder are Pauline Yvonne Parker, 16. her daughter, and Juliet Marion Hulme, 15.”

The Ones That I Worship There are living among(st) two dutiful daughters Of a man who possesses two beautiful daughters The most glorious beings in creation; They'd be the pride and joy of any nation. You cannot know, nor (yet) try to guess, The sweet soothingness of their caress The outstanding genius of this pair Is understood by few, they are so rare. Compared with these two, every man is a fool. The world is most honoured that they should deign to rule, And above us these Goddesses reign on high. I worship the power of these lovely two With that adoring love known to so few. 'Tis indeed a miracle, one must feel, That two such heavenly creatures are real. Both sets of eyes, though different far, hold many mysteries strange. Impassively they watch the race of man decay and change. Hatred burning bright in the brown eyes, with enemies for fuel, Icy scorn glitters in the grey eyes, contemptuous and cruel. Why are men such fools they will not realize The wisdom that is hidden behind those strange eyes? And these wonderful people are you and I.

Pauline Yvonne Parker, 1953. (back of diary)
