Ngā Kōrero Hōhonu o te Awa
The river’s wide here: it’s
undecided: it’s steeling itself
never to turn and go back uphill.
Hone Tuwhare’s poetry is like a kōrero on the marae: part challenge, part embrace, always alive, with the promise of a good feed afterwards. It’s poetry that fills you up.
The 2023 Hone Tuwhare Poetry Series was poetry that filled you up.
The world was shifting and the poets felt it.
Includes poems by: Hone Tuwhare, Ati Tuhoe, Chris Tse, Cilla McQueen, David Eggleton, Jessica Hinerangi Thompson-Carr, liz breslin, Louise Wallace, Michaela Keeble, Ruby Solly, Rushi Vyas, Sophia Wilson, and Tracey Tawhiao. Cover art and illlustrations by Tracey Tawhaio.
A collaboration with the Hone Tuwhare Trust and the Dunedin Writers & Readers Festival Trust.
