Rawahi
Paperback Edition: 1
In Rawahi (meaning overseas), poet Briar Wood weaves lyrical seascapes revealing people and places inspired by her home in New Zealand, her travels and time living overseas. Rawahi journeys from Aoteaora NZ to London, Europeand back again.
As bach doors open on moana and moorland, the deep-sea currents bring languages of faraway and words from the foreshore. Poems in the collection Rawahi travel on emotional and linguistic voyages to make aroha from the movements betweenpeople and places.
Intersecting journeys are woven together with memory in poetry which carries with it oral traditions, narrative, ancestory-telling and waka of whakapapa. These sky-borne sea lines are inspired by earthly encounters. This is poetry that is radiant and illuminating.
Rawahi has been produced with a stunning cover image by well-known New Zealand artist Reuben Paterson.
