Kōtuku Shining Flight: Cover Artist Lucy Mhoma Book Artist Jeana Giblin

'Spare and lovely as a bird in flight, these poems trace a wide arc - of belonging, of braided identities, of the bonds between people. Here the natural world is sharply observed, in delicate and precise language. A poetic memoir of sorts, the work never forgets heart.' - Frankie McMillan

'This book invites you into stillness. The poems grasp you and hold you in another world. The land, the people, the mist, the rain, the birds - everything has importance, everything here is holy.' - Jillian Sullivan
