The language! Oh, how she makes it dance! It is truly a special magic that belongs solely to her.

She has this remarkable ability to take the ordinary words and turn them into a beautiful and enchanting performance. With just a few strokes of her pen or a few turns of her tongue, she can create a world of wonder and excitement.

Her use of language is like a symphony, with each word playing its own unique role. The rhythm, the flow, the cadence - all combine to create a masterpiece that leaves the listener or reader spellbound.

Whether she is writing a poem, a story, or simply having a conversation, her language is always alive and full of energy. It dances and twirls, leaps and bounds, taking the audience on a journey they will never forget.

She is a master of the language, and her special magic is a joy to behold.

I have an intense love for Hulme's The Bone People. It's to the extent that I truly, truly desired to have the same level of love for her poetry.

Undoubtedly, there are some excellent elements within this book. However, there is very little that can seize me and震撼 me in the same way her prose does.

It's not something that is worth going to great lengths to find if it's out of print. But if by chance you come across a copy, it is indeed worthy of being picked up.

Overall, while the poetry has its merits, it doesn't quite reach the same heights as her remarkable prose.

A wonderful collection of poems by one of my favorite authors from Aotearoa has truly captured my heart. I couldn't put it down and ended up reading it twice through in one sitting. The power of the poems within this collection is simply astonishing. Each word seems to be carefully chosen to convey precisely what the author wants to express. It's as if the words mean exactly what you want to hear them say and show exactly what you see in them.

This collection is an absolute must-read for a wide range of audiences. Those interested in Maori poetry will find it a treasure trove of cultural and artistic expression. For those who love poetry from Aotearoa, it offers a unique perspective on the land and its people. Women poets will appreciate the voices and experiences shared within these pages. And for anyone who simply has a passion for poetry in general, this collection is sure to delight and inspire.
