The sixth book in the remarkable kōrero series, edited by Lloyd Jones, features Jan
Medlicott Acorn Fiction Prize winner Whiti Hereaka and the acclaimed artist Peata
Larkin, cousins who share the same whakapapa, in a collaboration based on the Fibonacci number sequence.
In a feat of managed imagining, Hereaka’s words spiral out to the centre of the book
and then back in on themselves to end with the same words with which the text
began. As the pattern spools out and then folds back, Peata Larkin’s meticulous
drawings of tāniko and whakairo and her lush works on silk weave their own
entrancing pattern.
‘It is my hope that by the time you have walked that path that you are now a
different reader and will read those words in a new way,’ Hereaka says.
