Black Marks on the White Page by Witi Ihimaera, Tina Makereti

5.0

I have the same review for nearly every anthology: I loved some pieces and struggled with others.  That's the joy in showcasing different voices and perspectives.  I rate this so highly because I found each voice interesting, and because we as readers need it to exist.  Pacific cultures are so often missing from conversations and awareness here, and without being at all an expert I find myself called on to provide basic knowledge.  I'm happy to have more literature to recommend and another way to learn while I'm so far away.
