Description

Through te reo Māori and New Zealand English her words weave threads of connection, loss, reclamation, resilience, wairua and presence.

Rooted in this land and stretching into the ever-expanding skies, these poems take us on a journey through mountains and
waterways, layers of history, time, language and perspective. Whether surprising and direct, soft or hopeful, Kupu Whenua
invites a fresh look at the once familiar.
