Rangikura is a complex and unflinching memoir and poetry/prose hybrid by promising Māori author Tayi Tibble. Descriptions of childhood, puberty, and mature themes intertwine with dizzying speed and almost choppy juxtaposition, as do beautiful indigenous terms and English-language obscenities. While it is incredibly jarring — if not quite off-putting — to read of childhood trauma in New Zealand and adult sexual liberation in America in nearly the same breath, the work overall is strangely beautiful and, if nothing else, unquestionably unforgettable.
