The Art Of Excavation by Leilani Tamu

In The Art of Excavation, Leilani Tamu delves into the complex and multifaceted nature of the region that we know as the Pacific. In poetry that is by turns fierce and political, tender and insightful, contemplative and intimate, Leilani creates a beautiful 'ie tōga (fine mat) that weaves together living memory as an exploration of history in all of its many forms and complexities. This stunning debut poetry collection is a vibrant and challenging offering from a young Pacific woman writer who is also a mother, historian, former diplomat and columnist. In 2013 the author was Fulbright-CNZ Pacific Writer in Residence at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa.
