Poukahangatus By Tayi Tibble

Poukahangatus by Tayi Tibble is an exceptional collection of poems that explores the identity of a twenty-first-century Indigenous woman. In this American debut, Tibble fearlessly engages with history, modernity, and desire. The title, pronounced as “Pocahontas,” hints at the intersection of mythologies—Greek, Māori, feminist, and Kiwi.

Tibble’s poems dissect and reweave these mythic threads, creating a fresh tapestry of storytelling. She navigates the complexities of being a Māori woman in a world shaped by colonization, land, work, and gender. From Kardashians to natural landscapes, Tibble’s verses oscillate between the mundane and the profound.
