    “Each piece in this collection is fab and one perspective of the whole. I did want to mention the beautifully penned essay by Ataria Sharman (Ngāpuhi, Tapuika) that would be a helpful framework for this collection. Also, the words of Ruby Solly (Kai Tahu, Waitaha, Kati Māmoe), who in this and her debut poetry collection Tōku Pāpā reasserts pre-colonial heterogeneity of Māori and specific narratives and traditions of mana whenua through the odes written in honour of her Southern roots and matriarchs. A beautiful collection in and out!”
