Hopurangi : Songcatcher : Poems From The Maramataka
Paperback Edition: 1
A new collection from acclaimed poet Robert Sullivan, inspired by the Maori lunar calendar.
After rejoining social media, Robert Sullivan wrote and posted a poem a day over two and a half months - the poems collected in Hopurangi - Songcatcher. Inspired by the cyclical energies of the Maramataka, these poems see the poet re-finding himself and his world in the matauranga of his kuia from the Ngati Hau and Ngati Kaharau hapu of Ngapuhi; in his mothers stories from his Ngati Manu hapu at Karetu; in the singing and storytelling at Puketeraki Marae, home of his fathers people of Kati Huirapa, Kati Mamoe, Waitaha and Kai Tahu Whanui in Te Tai o Araiteuru; and in the fellowship of friends on Facebook.
