| TÅ"nui | Comet is the first collection in more than a decade by one of our most important living MÄ ori poets. Rolling easily between kÅ rero MÄ ori and the canonical traditions of English-language poetry, through karakia and pÅ whiri, treaty training and decolonisation wiki entries, Robert Sullivan takes readers on a marvellous poetic hÄ"koi. Guided by MÄ ui and TÄ whirimÄ tea, Moana Jackson and Freddie Mercury, we walk from Kâ Rd council flats to Kaka Point, finding ourselves and our ancestors along the way. We stand tall before we play the clock out past the reef toward Matariki. Clouds raise their fists as seagulls and sparrows swoon into the rainbow. It has been a long homecoming and he has made the pieces one. |
