Death Goddess sings loud and off key about the trauma, mess and gore of our awa atua, red river fox, our frenemy enemy & ovaries! This goddess isn’t afraid of nothing. She’s not afraid to spill her moon sickness on the western line. She’s my third full length collection of new original poetry, my unexpected baby. She arrived way earlier than expected - auee.

We hope our Death Goddess Guide gets published in time for Matariki and the new year of the Maramatanga! We'd love her to be in sync & harmony with the rising of Pohutukawa so we can feast, celebrate & remember together our people riding the waka into the night sky.
