Tena koe (how’s your Maori?)
My knowledge of New Zealand literature is slight (something I hope to correct on this trip). The one book I loved is by the Maori author, Keri Hulme. Her book THE BONE PEOPLE won the 1985 Booker Prize.
O the spun shiny surface,
mica and stars,
I span: stand stunned
reeling over night and mind,
so far, no sand
or chance strange feeling
blunts my eyes blind. . . .
Keri Hulme
May your week be filled with the brightness of mica and stars.
Kia ora koe, Keith
