PAUSE: Words by Wahine

Rate this book
PAUSE is about that moment in time,

those stolen snippets, the deliberate and the unintentional, the lifechanging thoughts, the mundane and the defining.

It's about breaking through the rough patches, inner growth, celebration, moving on.


PAUSE creates a space to hold onto what matters.

The prose, poetry and short stories on these pages represents the chaos of the sadness and heartbreak, the beauty and the joy.

PAUSE is a collection of writing from women in Aotearoa whose words offer the world an escape, a breath of motivation, a thoughtful questioning of our priorities.

186 pages, Kindle Edition

Pause is a powerful and beautifully curated collection of poems and stories that truly lingers in your mind. Each piece offers something unique—some are hard-hitting and emotional, while others are quietly reflective or deeply thought-provoking. The range of voices and writing styles is one of the collection’s greatest strengths. I loved how each story and poem felt personal yet universally relatable. It’s the kind of book you can return to again and again, always finding something new to feel. An absolute gem for anyone who appreciates honest, heartfelt writing.
