My own darling
Poetry and theatre collide in this urban love/hate letter to Tāmaki Makarau.
Teuila, a Samoan-Pālagi poet and single mum, journeys through social landscapes of the city, unpacking and celebrating the intensely personal stories of those around her. Through meeting a girl in blood-red jeans, a neighbourhood mama and a brown-skin, tattoo-less brother, life is made visible.
Grace Iwashita-Taylor riffs on the intimate and the epic, challenging preconceptions of Pacific stereotypes with searing poetry, humour and alofa.
