Maori Books

The fifteen paintings and fifteen matching poems in this book are a completely fresh and inspired dramatisation of the Maori creation myths. From the beginning, the endless dark, to the multiplication of earth's creatures in light, each of the recorded incidents and stages in the age-old story is recaptured in clear bold lines - vigorous, evocative lines of verse and strong lines of brushwork.
