<p><b>'Moving and hopeful ... will stay with me for a long time' </b>Daisy Buchanan<br><b>'A fearless, young new voice' </b>Carol Ann Duffy<br><b>'One of the most exciting debuts I've read in ages' </b>Kaveh Akbar<br><b>'One of the most startling and original poets of her generation' </b>Joy Harjo<br><br>The voice of Tayi Tibble is one of most exciting in poetry today. In <i>Poukahangatus</i> (pronounced 'Pocahontas'), her debut volume, Tibble challenges a dazzling array of mythologies - Greek, Maori, feminist, kiwi - peeling them apart and respinning them in modern terms. Her poems move from rhythmic discussions of the Kardashians, sugar daddies and <i>Twilight</i> to exquisite renderings of precise emotions and the natural world alike. Tibble is also a master narrator of teenage womanhood, its exhilarating highs and devastating lows; her high-camp aesthetics chart the overflowing beauty, irony and ruination of her surroundings.<br><br>Poem by poem, Tibble carves out a bold new way of engaging history without merely telling it, of straddling modernity and ancestry, desire and exploitation. These are warm, provocative and profoundly original poems, written from a world in which the effects of colonization, land, work and gender are intimately and insidiously connected. Along the way, Tibble scrutinizes perception and asks how she as a Maori woman fits into trends, stereotypes and popular culture. With language that is at once colourful, passionate and laugh-out-loud funny, <i>Poukahangatus</i> announces the presence of a surpassingly daring new poet.</p>
