Description
Poukahangatus is a debut poetry collection that challenges traditional mythologies and offers a fresh perspective. Tayi Tibble's voice is distinctive and exciting, weaving together elements of Greek, Maori, feminist, and kiwi cultures to create something new.
The poems in Poukahangatus are both provocative and original, exploring themes of identity, desire, exploitation, and the natural world. With language that is colourful, passionate, and laugh-out-loud funny, Tibble scrutinizes perception and asks how she as a Maori woman fits into trends, stereotypes, and popular culture.
These poems announce the presence of a daring new poet, one who carves out a bold new way of engaging with history without merely telling it. Poukahangatus is a moving and hopeful collection that will stay with readers for a long time.
