A collection of poems presented at the Critiquing Pasifika Education Talanoa Mālie, Wānanga, Symposium @ the University 2014, held at the Auckland University of Technology, South Campus on Friday 4 July 2014. The idea to speak our poems about Words and Wisdoms instead of delivering an oral academic presentation is our way of upholding and respecting the tradition of oratory passed on the indigenous and Pasifika peoples by our ancestors in Aotearoa New Zealand and the tropical island to north of Aotearoa.
