Haare Williams grew up with his Tuhoe grandparents on the shores of
Ohiwa Harbour in a te reo world of Tane and Tangaroa, Te Kooti and
the old testament, of Nani Wai and curried cockle stew - a world
that Haare left behind when he learnt English at school and moved
to Auckland. Over the last half-century, through the Maori arts
movement, waves of protest and the rise of Maori broadcasting,
Haare Williams has witnessed and played a part in the changing
shape of Maoridom. And in his poetry and prose, in te reo Maori and
English, Haare has a unique ability to capture both the wisdom of
te ao Maori and the transformation of that world. This book, edited
and introduced by Witi Ihimaera, brings together the poetry and
prose of Haare Williams to produce a work that is a biography of
the man and his times. The book is a celebration of a kaumatua and
an exemplar of his wisdom.
