In this compelling second collection from one of New Zealands most exciting rising poets, Hinemoana Baker amplifies whats usually whispered, magnifies the microscopic, and x-rays the mundane. Touching upon the authors bicultural background and depths of shared feelings, this indigenous compilation is sure to appeal to all poetry lovers.
The poems are anchored firmly in a modern world and yet range freely over Bakers past, lyrically examining a bi-cultural life." Mark Houlahan, Dominion Post
"Baker reconjugates the obvious, making it surprising all over again." David Eggleton, New Zealand Listener
