Tunui | Comet

A marvellous hikoi through Aotearoa today alongside a leading Maori poet.

Tunui | Comet is the first collection in more than a decade by one of our most important living Maori poets. Rolling easily between korero Maori and the canonical traditions of English-language poetry, through karakia and powhiri, treaty training and decolonisation wiki entries, Robert Sullivan takes readers on a marvellous poetic hikoi. Guided by Maui and Tawhirimatea, Moana Jackson and Freddie Mercury, we walk from KRd council flats to Kaka Point, finding ourselves and our ancestors along the way.
