Book Review: Manuali’i

Manuali’i
by Rex Letoa Paget
Review by Māia

A tender and grounded collection that swirls in the depth of loss and creation. These poems are dreamy and heartfelt, pressing on the wounds of grief, heartbreak and Home. The wisdom in these poems is ancient and the themes are timeless, as the author weaves together ancestral Samoan knowledge and his own lived experience, strengthening the tether between the two.
