Hide No More

Kamiria Mullen's selected poems span 1958 to 2023

In Hide No More she fearlessly explores intergenerational trauma, delving into the impact of colonisation on Maori language, culture, mental and physical health. Unveiling wounds of incest, sexual abuse, multiple personality disorder, drug use, suicide, language loss and cultural identity struggles, her powerful verses inspire hope and healing.

This transformative collection sparks vital conversations and calls for embracing personal and cultural identity. In 2023 at age 82, Kamiria has been a multiple cancer survivor sharing her successful health regime. With an acute memory, she is sought after by her whanau, hapa and iwi for her extensive knowledge of whakapapa. Living within the papakainga of Takapuwähia Marac in Porirua, Kamiria remains dedicated to writing about the impact of colonisation, and is committed to reclaiming a brighter future.
