Brief synopsis of book:
Identities and cultures get lost and found as people traverse land and sea. This a collection of ten poems written by an immigrant in New Zealand, a woman of colour with multiple identities. In some poems, she unpacks the social cues and cultural nuances of the situations she finds herself in. In others, she simply wants to be herself - at least one of the multiple identities she holds.
For best results, perform the poems like a song, a rap or spoken word.
