Essential reading<br />
Two brilliant new anthologies published by Penguin Random House showcase work<br />
from contemporary Māori writers celebrating and challenging the power of the<br />
written word. Te Awa o Kupu, edited by Vaughan Rapatahana, is a stunning collection<br />
of poetry and short stories from over 80 authors exploring compassion, concern,<br />
curiosity, suffering and joy. Its companion collection, Ngā Kupu Wero, focuses on recent<br />
non-fiction – essays, articles, commentary and creative non-fiction on the political,<br />
cultural and social issues that define modern Aotearoa. Curated by author Witi<br />
Ihimaera, more than 60 writers examine ideas that challenge us: from colonisation to<br />
identity, creativity to mātauranga Māori. Together these two passionate volumes of<br />
work represent a river of words flowing from some of our brightest literary lights.<br />
