Kia ora e hoas - Āporo Press is publishing my debut full-length poetry collection, "Overseas Experience"! We have support from a CLNZ Grant but Damien is running a Boosted campaign to publish three new books by takatāpui Māori writers this year! Donate if you can: www.thearts.co.nz/boosted/proj...

This isn't aesthetics exactly, but everywhere I go people are wearing American university hoodies, "vintage" Americana t shirts, Hallenstein's and a bunch of other chains are selling American sports team gear...my mind boggles

Next Saturday, I'm having my first full poetry reading in Aotearoa, hosted by the lovely Moana Fresh! Please come along if you are free and say hello.

My @trameditions.bsky.social chapbook Māori Maid Difficult comes out in a couple of weeks!

Friends, please come celebrate the launch Thu 18 Jan, 7pm PST at @greenapplebooks.bsky.social (9th Ave + Zoom).

Aotearoa, that's Fri 19 Jan, 4pm!

Sandy Littletree, @jmloyer.bsky.social and I are happy to share our new peer-reviewed, #DiamondOA article, "Information as a Relation: Defining Indigenous Information Literacy" in @jinfolit.bsky.social! Thanks to the librarians who participated in our research. Check it out: doi.org/10.11645/17....

Pens are probably the most mundane product I miss from back home. I can't find pens in this shape anywhere and I keep forgetting to buy a box when I visit (which is rarely). Bah humbug!

The launch date for my book, MĀORI MAID DIFFICULT has moved to the new year. Please support @trameditions.bsky.social authors and editors in the meantime! Palestinian-American author Priscilla Wathington is donating her proceeds to aid efforts at the moment: www.trameditions.com

Could use some tohutō/macrons and some unpaywalling, but nonetheless:

Kicking off the week with a new poem, in Takahē 108! Stoked to be in such good company here: www.takahe.org.nz/t108/
