Mōteatea is a new poem, written and recorded in response to an exhibition by Beth Caird on grief processes, at Blue Oyster Art Project Space in Ōtepoti Dunedin. It has just been published by the wonderful people at Blue Oyster – here’s the link

It was important to record the spoken word, alongside the written text, to bridge the spaces I explore in my creative work. As a writer with Māori ancestry, and still recovering from a brain injury, having multiple ways to access and approach my writing is vital.

Mā te wā, see you again soon

Author’s Note: A mōteatea is a lament.
