Hana Buchanan
HANA BUCHANAN (Ngāti Haumia ki Te Aro, Taranaki iwi, Te Atiawa, Taranaki Whānui ki te Upoko o te Ika) is a tangata toikupu — poet, kaikaranga, kaitito waiata — and a yoga teacher, working from her ancestral lands in Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Her words weave threads of connection, loss, reclamation, resilience, wairua and presence. These poems take us on a journey through mountains and waterways, layers of history, time, language and perspective. Kupu Whenua invites a fresh look at the once familiar.
