Nothing says summer holidays like the splash of red from the Pohutukawa flower - bring it on! That is the inspiration for the poem collection title and a few scribbles to entertain you at the beach or in the hammock this year. During the cooler months, you can cosy up by the fire and enjoy some ramblings from R. de wolf. In the 2022 soup is a pinch of memoir, a teaspoon of nostalgia, a cup of giggles, a stir of thought, and a dusting of opinion. No poet laureate offerings to go with your pavlova or ham in this book. While the odd metaphor may jump out to pinch your bum while nobody's looking,…mehr

Nothing says summer holidays like the splash of red from the Pohutukawa flower - bring it on! That is the inspiration for the poem collection title and a few scribbles to entertain you at the beach or in the hammock this year. During the cooler months, you can cosy up by the fire and enjoy some ramblings from R. de wolf. In the 2022 soup is a pinch of memoir, a teaspoon of nostalgia, a cup of giggles, a stir of thought, and a dusting of opinion. No poet laureate offerings to go with your pavlova or ham in this book. While the odd metaphor may jump out to pinch your bum while nobody's looking, Poetry In a Pohutukawa is squarely aimed at the reader who likes to understand what they are reading. De Wolf supplies her trademark reflections after each piece, to tell you what inspired her to write the poem, story, or prose. Like all human beings she's sometimes happy, sad, pithy, ridiculous, or pissed off. But if that doesn't grab you - there's also a word finder for the kids. Enjoy! R. de Wolf dedicated Poetry In a Pohutukawa to her mother Lydia Dawn Ngarimu and dear friend and Danish-English poet, Ella Moray Williams.

Autorenporträt
R. de Wolf was born on the East Coast of New Zealand and is of Maori descent. After leaving New Zealand to travel the world, she lived overseas for 29 years, returning to New Zealand in 2014. Currently, she resides in Ruatorea. The call to write came home with her. In 2020 R. de Wolf published her debut fiction novel, Guardians of the Ancestors - Book One of the Spirit Voyager Series, and short story Crushed Violet, in Kaituhi Rawhiti - A Celebration of East Coast Writers. In 2021 The Future Weavers - Book Two launched in November, and Poetry in a Pear Tree, was published in December. A self-confessed nerd and Sci-Fi fan, The Goodness Algorithm was R. de Wolf's first dystopian novel in 2022 and Poetry In a Pohutukawa followed in December, along with the launch of Kaituhi R¿whiti Two - Weaving of Words which she co-edited and features two of her stories - Whale Brothers (a teaser for the upcoming novel) and The Hollow Mother. Brothers in Whalesong Book Three of the Spirit Voyager Series launched in February 2023. De Wolf writes about the issues she is passionate about - equality, women's rights, the balance of nature, and the spiritual connection to our ancestors and place, with all of her books set in Oceania. She is a member of the NZSA and a Committee member for the Central District Branch, the Tairawhiti Writer's Hub, and the Tai Tech Writers Group. One of her greatest achievements for 2022 was encouraging writers from Tairawhiti to share their work, learn, and be confident in developing their own voice. De Wolf assisted with the launch of Te Kaituhi M¿ori, an organisation supporting M¿ori writers in May 2023. Book four is in progress and the third Poetry Book.
