Tunui | Comet is the first collection in more than a decade by one of our most important living Maori poets. Rolling easily between korero Maori and the canonical traditions of English-language poetry, through karakia and powhiri, treaty training and decolonisation wiki entries, Robert Sullivan takes readers on a marvellous poetic hikoi.
Guided by Maui and Tawhirimatea, Moana Jackson and Freddie Mercury, we walk from K’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.
