He's kept us waiting for more than a decade but writer Robert Sullivan has just published a new poetry collection in which he examines both his Māori and Pākehā lineage.
The poems in Tūnui | Comet are deeply personal. They encompass the distant past and the future, while Te Reo and English stand confidently together in some of the works.
Lynn Freeman talks with Robert - who's currently teachng at Waitaki Boys High School in Oamaru. He reads one of the poems from the collection - and it's a true story:
Robert Sullivan' s Tūnui | Comet is published by Auckland University Press.
