About the book
She came into the world as a bloodclot / Her mother was a twin / Her father was an eel / They hid her in the Earth / And O, how magnificent she was. Nafanua, the Samoan goddess of war leaves the underworld to wander the earth as a half-caste girl from Christchurch. Blending Samoan oral tradition and myths with the author's own life, this provocative, confrontational collection of poetry explores the experience of living in the South Pacific.
