Author Talk: Te Moana o Reo | Ocean of Languages ed. by Michelle Elvy & Vaughan Rapatahana

About the event
Join us in the shop for the release of this sparkling new collection, Te Moana o Reo | Ocean of Languages, edited by Michelle Elvy & Vaughan Rapatahana published by The Cuba Press.
Bringing together more than forty languages together, this collection, story by story, highlights the beautifully complex realities of Aotearoa’s multicultural and multilingual society. With microfictions and creative nonfictions, plus twelve essays from language practitioners and experts, Te Moana o Reo holds words to the light, examining, contemplating and declaring who we are.
This is a twenty-first-century view of Aotearoa, a taonga for our world.
Wellington contributors will be reading at the launch. Michelle Elvy and Mary McCallum (publisher at The Cuba Press) will be there to launch the book.
