Hers is a complicated, joyful route, full of conversations with ancestors, old places and herself. In form these poems range from plain-speaking prose and concrete poetry to odes and spells; in mood they are just as restless, taking in those times when life feels as big as a movie screen and times when it is more like ' a loose stone to kick down the path' . Gathered here are names that travel through time, failed photos of the moon, and love like a feather in the throat. There are encounters with Hine-te-iwaiwa, the bird-woman Kurangaituku, Hine-nui-te-po, and Hinemoana as she erodes the land with her wildness. This whole-hearted collection shows us how many ways there are to search for one's bones and at last get to know them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Victoria University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781776921331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112","brand":"Stacey Teague","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44902142116021,"sku":"9781776921331","price":13.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_20660468-2c20-476c-9d5e-d59d05020694.jpg?v=1733813381","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/plastic-9781776921331","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
