TAUMANU 🖤🤍❤️ it’s time to RECLAIM... 🌊🦉🔪🩸🔥

The first New Zealander to win the @TheBookerPrizes Keri Hulme won the award in 1985 for 'The Bone People'. I love the bit here during the ceremony when they ring her on the phone to tell her and she says, "Bloody hell!" youtu.be/0ISBbU9UYQc #KeriHulme #TheBonePeople

But I also gotta talk about the joy. Not to again compare #MichaelKWilliams to X but they were both so characteristically Gen X Black men born and raised in these NYC streets. They had been through battle, they were haunted even, but they also grabbed moments of joy full out.

@CasparSalmon Ātaahua. | Beautiful.
