E rua nga pukapuka kikorangi 💙🩵 Two blue boo

Two blue books. Or at least I think that’s what I said.

So, I’ve come late to the party for one of these blue books—Colleen Maria Lenihan’s Kōhine. Wow, woman can write. Linked stories set in the seedy clubs of Japan and Aotearoa. The unmistakeable scent of sex and death. @colleenmarialenihan please write a memoir one day. I’ll be first in the queue.

The next blue book, HIWA, I was with as it birthed into the world last week at @objectspace. HIWA is beautiful to hold (great work @aucklanduniversitypress) and entrancing to read. Finally, a contemporary collection that doesn’t box Maōri writers in. Beautiful stories from emerging and established writers including Patricia Grace, Whiti Hereaka, Becky Manawatu and loads more. But what makes this collection extra special are the intelligent introductions by editor, Dr Paula Morris, which set the book and each story in cultural and life context. So good.

Whangārei pals, I’d love to see you later this

Whangārei pals, I’d love to see you later this month!

‘Drive’ still gives me chills. The original Dr

‘Drive’ still gives me chills. The original Drive EP got me through late late summer ‘96 when Dad suddenly passed. Turning 20 with nothing feeling the same anymore. I got through that last year of my degree and headed to London with my sis. Bic Runga totally seemed to get all that 🎵❤️‍🩹 Her song ‘You’ made it into Golden Days and I’m gutted it’s not available on Spotify, for some reason. Anyone know how to make that happen?

So damn amazing to see Bic back on stage at Auckland Town Hall on Friday night—her voice is as great as ever and where the hell did she get that dress? Fantastic night.

A special event at Queenstown Library on Thursday

A special event at Queenstown Library on Thursday night — not least because I finally got to catch up with my old primary school bestie and Golden Days dedicatee, Denya, who you can see in the first picture 💕💕💕
Also fab to have @kristiejmac and Robynne there, @arrowtownkate, plus Margaret (last pic) who said beautiful karakia and lead us in waiata. Thank you to Paper Plus Queenstown, Bethany Rogers, @qldclibraries. I’ll be back!
