Poem by poem, Tibble carves out a bold new way of engaging history, of straddling modernity and ancestry, desire and exploitation.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIntimate, moving, virtuosic, and hilarious, Tayi Tibble is one of the most exciting new voices in poetry today. In \u003ci\u003ePoūkahangatus\u003c\/i\u003e (pronounced \"Pocahontas\"), her debut volume, Tibble challenges a dazzling array of mythologies--Greek, Māori, feminist, kiwi--peeling them apart, respinning them in modern terms. Her poems move from rhythmic discussions of the Kardashians, sugar daddies, and \u003ci\u003eTwilight\u003c\/i\u003e to exquisite renderings of the natural world and precise emotions (\"The lump in her throat swelled like a sea that threatened to take him from her, and she had to swallow hard\"). Tibble is also a master narrator of teenage womanhood, its exhilarating highs and devastating lows; her high-camp aesthetics correlate to the overflowing beauty, irony, and ruination of her surroundings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese are warm, provocative, and profoundly original poems, written by a woman for whom diving into the wreck means taking on new assumptions--namely, that it is not radical to write from a world in which the effects of colonization, land, work, and gender are obviously connected. Along the way, Tibble scrutinizes perception and how she as a Māori woman fits into trends, stereotypes, and popular culture. With language that is at once colorful, passionate, and laugh-out-loud funny, \u003ci\u003ePoūkahangatus\u003c\/i\u003e is the work of one of our most daring new poets.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Knopf","offers":[{"title":"Poukahangatus: Poems | Tayi Tibble | Paperback | 9780593467893 | New | Poetry 1534953","offer_id":50575126495490,"sku":"1534953","price":32.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/91xsrv0BwnL.jpg?v=1790874492","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/poukahangatus-poems","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
