Hers is a complicated, joyful route, full of conversations with ancestors, old places and herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn form, these poems range from plain-speaking prose and concrete poetry to odes and spells; in mood they are just as restless, taking in those times when life feels as big as a movie screen and times when it is more like 'a loose stone to kick down the path'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGathered here are names that travel through time, failed photos of the moon, and love like a feather in the throat. There are encounters with Hine-te-iwaiwa, the bird-woman Kurangaituku, Hine-nui-te-pō, and Hinemoana as she erodes the land with her wildness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis whole-hearted collection shows us how many ways there are to search for one's bones and at last get to know them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Upstart Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47616520913132,"sku":"9781776921331","price":24.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781776921331-plastic.jpg?v=1778464446","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/plastic-by-stacey-teague-9781776921331","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
