Ă propos de ce livre
Published on the cusp of the new millennium, Maori poet Robert Sullivan's third book of poems, Star Waka, explores themes of journeying and navigation, moving back and forth in time and focus to confront colonisation, contemporary political issues and personal questions of family and identity. It came with some strings attached: each poem had to feature either a star, a waka (canoe) or the ocean. Within these parameters, and in 2001 lines, Sullivan creates 100 poems that, he says, themselves function like a waka: ‘members of the crew change, the rhythm and the view changes – it is subject to the laws of nature'.

x Goldie (1)
he pads around downtown
spots the Toi Tamaki
Heritage Galleryâs picture
of the starving lost waka crew â
so realistic, âon the spotâ â
proof of early
anthropological puddings
just look at it,
where are the women,
the crops, tools, material
for settlement?
hey they were paddling
round the ocean
when they bumped
into Aotearoa
and were canvassed â
must be their account
xi
he and I suggest ways of narrating a story of waves
a billion billion of them to borrow a phrase
borrowed from the infinite numbers available
in telling an infinite story lapping the shapes
formed round land â a set of keys on a lap
landing there by mistake â a slip
and it all piles into the ocean mistook
for a reclamation declaimed by the tumbling
mumbling tongues of salinity
at a beach which heads for a context
a breach into the canon of beaches
writing in sand obscured by puffs
and gulls and tideâs own cursive
curling lickity ups and lollipop downs
through the otherwise metronomic
glassiness then swelling then rough
to high waves and back down
to the ground or to the rocks again
and again the saline solution
xii Independence Day
We hear a lot in Auckland these days
about the cost of the viaduct basin
the benefits accrued from the Cup challenge
various economic analyses: tourists
property exposure capital: the Americans
are really doing their homework
before they decide to colonise us
(but this time I really mean most kiwis
i.e. 85.1% of the population according
to the 1996 census) it doesnât mean
much to the rest itâs still going to be
a colony
xiii Rough Cuts
the strokes slow, start cutting the drink
becalmed by tired arms
