Details

Plastic is a deeply reflective and imaginative collection of poetry where Stacey Teague explores her journey back to te ao Māori. With a route that is both complicated and joyful, the poems navigate conversations with ancestors, old places, and the self.

In form, the work spans plain-speaking prose, concrete poetry, odes, and spells; in mood, it moves from moments as expansive as a movie screen to times as intimate as “a loose stone to kick down the path.” Readers encounter names that travel through time, failed photos of the moon, and love like a feather in the throat. Teague’s poems also engage with Māori figures such as Hine-te-iwaiwa, Kurangaituku, Hine-nui-te-po, and Hinemoana, reflecting on connections to land, ancestry, and identity.
