The Wind Is Up and We’re on
A collection of poems written during the governance of the world’s youngest female prime minister.
“...haunting, visionary…”
— The Listener
Written in Aotearoa over a few years in the small windows of time that parenting afforded, these poems respond to a failed flag referendum, a national tendency to over-celebrate sports, and the hopeful moments of a country slowly attempting to decolonise.
Edited while a new Prime Minister gave birth to her child, and a whale visited Te Whanganui-a-Tara.
