Always Italicise: How to Write While Colonised
Alice Te Punga Somerville
A stunning collection of poems. Filled with rage and love and wit, Te Punga Somerville does not hold back. Many of the poems interrogate complex institutional challenges of being an Indigenous academic with fierce and cutting intelligence. Others bring us intimately close with her as she tenderly describes moments of loss and grief. Each one of these poems is breathtaking.

It feels wrong to pair this collection with the Union Jack emblazoned NZ flag instead of the Tino Rangitiratanga flag…but sadly that emoji doesn’t yet exist 😕
