Tūmanako – Hope. This theme links the poems in this fourth edition of Tūhono, submitted by Wellington poets aged 13-18 and collected by Wellington City Libraries throughout April and May 2024. Poems by writers aged 5-12 are collected in a separate volume. Some poets chose to explore the immediacy and tangibility of hope – they wrote about real-world things that they wish would happen: a new sibling, an end to institutional racism, extra chicken nuggets in your fast food order that you didn’t have to pay for. Others chose to write about hope in a more abstract way, focussing not so much on the material things they are hoping for, but on how the sensation of hoping affects them emotionally or physically, how having (or lacking) hope changes the way they experience the world. Dear reader, sit with this book for a while and thumb through its pages. In doing so, you may just find your own perspective changing as you absorb the hopes and aspirations of a new generation of writers.
