The Ties That Bind Us

Résumé du livre

A collection of short stories and poems that Kai Tahu and whanau have created over a number of years. Snatches of memories, people, places and practices that have shaped and define us in the local Southern landscape - a celebration of relationship ties. Publisher Tracey Wright-Tawha has been writing poetry for nearly forty years, and as a novice facilitated a number of whanau creative wananga over the last twenty years at Murihiku Marae, Takutai o Te Titi Marae and in various community settings. It was in checking a box one day and discovering a number of whanau poems that Tracey sought consent from whanau that a book be published. Further creative wananga were facilitated giving a body of work spanning more than eighty years of memories.
