Whakaata : reflection. This theme links the poems in this second edition of Tūhono, submitted by Wellington poets aged 13-18 and collected by Wellington City Libraries during October-November 2021. Poems by writers aged 5-12 are collected in a separate volume. The year 2021 provided us all with plenty of opportunities to reflect – on ourselves, our families, our schools, our work, our society. What’s really important? What falls by the wayside when times are tough? What do you see looking back at you when you gain the courage to hold the mirror up to the light? Anxious, loving, hopeful, angry, quirky, imagistic, insular, exuberant – these poems are a kaleidoscope. At one end we put in our certainties, our questions, our need to understand and to express. As for what we see at the other end? Well, you’re reading it.
