A selection from the collected poems of Maya Angelou, translated into te reo Maori by thirty-four wahine from across Aotearoa.

Rangona ai ko te reo o te tira wahine. He huinga ruri na Maya Angelou, na nga Ika a Whiro o Te Panekiretanga o Te Reo.

Through her illustrious career, African American poet and civil rights leader Maya Angelou has gifted, healed and inspired the world with her words. In this pukapuka, the beauty and wairua of her poems are translated into te reo Maori by a cohort of female graduates from Te Panekiretanga o te Reo, the Institute of Excellence in the Maori Language.

This collection of ruri/poems will warm the hearts of Maya Angelou's most ardent admirers and will also introduce new readers to the legendary poet, activist and teacher.

Presented with English and Maori on facing pages, as well as poetic biographies of each translator, this book is a taonga that welcomes a literary icon to Aotearoa.

About Amplify Bookstore

An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.

Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.

We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.

I loved how inclusive this space was, there were dyslexia friendly books and a space for books about queer love, a bit of something for everyone.
