No worries! Yeah Star Waka is incredible - such a rich collection. Had the pleasure of asking Robert some questions at one of my WORD Festival events last weekend. Was great to hear him talk about how he writes!
Will check these out, love your kōrero. My poetry day delight was "The Kiwi Pimpernal is infected by Sarah Douche" by Fa'afetai Ta'asē from his stunning book Polynation, oh how delicious are the words of the poets!!! Mauri ora.
Kia ora Jordan, I have most of these collections and love reading your reviews of them. Thank you for raising awareness of the first two Māori women poets published in English - if I ever teach Eng @ secondary level again, students will know about them too! Ngā mihi.
Huge fan of Roberty Sullivan, and read STAR WAKA when it was first released. And thank you for the other titles I don't have in my collection.
