Hopurangi--Songcatcher: Poems from the Maramataka (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781776711222)

After rejoining social media, Robert Sullivan wrote and posted a poem a day over two and a half months - the poems collected in Hopurangi-- Songcatcher. Inspired by the cyclical energies of the Maramataka, these poems see the poet re-finding himself and his world - in the matauranga of his kuia from the Ngati Hau and Ngati Kaharau hapu of Ngapuhi; in his mother's stories from his Ngati Manu hapu at Karetu; in the singing and storytelling at Puketeraki Marae, home of his father's people of Kati Huirapa, Kati Mamoe, Waitaha and Kai Tahu Whanui in Te Tai o Araiteuru; and in the fellowship of friends on Facebook. Tihei mauri ora!
