Step into the world of Airana Ngarewa (Ngāti Ruanui, Ngā Rauru, Ngāruahine), a writer whose stories rise from Taranaki soil and linger long after the last page. In this kōrero, Airana reflects on the inspirations behind The Bone Tree, Pātea Boys, and The Last Living Cannibal, offering a deep, thoughtful look at the craft and kaupapa behind his work.
