Cook Islands (a self-governing parliamentary democracy in free association with New Zealand)

An enjoyable dual-language collection (English and Cook Islands Maori) of primarily narrative and imagistic poems. Pen and ink illustrations contribute to the visual immediacy of these pieces. Kauraka includes poems addressing racism and other salient issues, bringing contemporary concerns to more folkloric pieces.
