In her first book of poetry, Māori scholar and poet Alice Te Punga Somerville does just that. In wit and anger, sadness and aroha, she reflects on “how to write while colonised”—how to write in English as a Māori writer; how to trace links between Aotearoa and wider Pacific, Indigenous and colonial worlds; how to be the only Māori person in a workplace; and how—and why—to do the mahi anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI wanted to pick up baby, and I wanted to pick a fight:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe eternal\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eWaitangi\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDay dilemma.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlice Te Punga Somerville\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoftcover, 88 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Hawaiʻi Press","offers":[{"title":"Softcover","offer_id":54774193422611,"sku":"psf1790034008466","price":13.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/4029\/7235\/files\/always-italicise-how-to-write-while-colonised_1.jpg?v=1790034013","url":"https:\/\/tentcamping.shop\/products\/always-italicise-how-to-write-while-colonised","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
