About this ebook
Through her illustrious career, African American poet and civil rights leader Maya Angelou has gifted, healed and inspired the world with her words. In this pukapuka, the beauty and wairua of her poems are translated into te reo Maori by a cohort of female graduates from Te Panekiretanga o te Reo, the Institute of Excellence in the Maori Language. This collection of ruri/poems will warm the hearts of Maya Angelou' s most ardent admirers and will also introduce new readers to the legendary poet, activist and teacher. Presented with English and Maori on facing pages, as well as poetic biographies of each translator, this book is a taonga that welcomes a literary icon to Aotearoa. Kua haurua rautau te roa o Maya Angelou e whakarakei ana i te ao ki ana kupu me ona whakaaro, i hua mai ai ko te huhua o ana titonga kanorau, pukapuka mai, tuhingaroa mai, whakaari mai, ruri mai. I runga ano i te whariki o tana ao toi, kua tuituia nga kupu whakatuma, ki te kaikiri, ki te tohe, ki te whai ora, ki nga wheako hoki o te wahine me te kirimangu, ma roto i tona reo ahurei. Kua huia nga ruri ki nga wahanga e whitu e hangai ana ki te ao tonu o Maya, e whai panga ana ano hoki ki a ngai Maori: te whanaungatanga, te mate kanehe, te oke o te ia ra, te kirimangu, te whakatorea, te rere o te wa me te whakaao maramatanga. I te pukapuka nei rere ai ko te reo o te kahui wahine o Te Panekiretanga o Te Reo, me ona kanorautanga. Kuia mai, mama mai, rangatahi mai, teina mai, tuakana mai, he wahine kua rongo, kua kite i te ihi o te whai reo, me te wehi o te reokoretanga. Ka titi tonu nga kupu a te maia ki te ngakau o te hunga e aritarita ana ki te reo Maori i tenei huinga ruri ana.

About the author
E toru tekau ma wha nga wahine i hiki ra i te manuka na te pouwahine o Te Panekiretanga, na Pania Papa i whakatakoto, kia tu hei kaiwhakamaori mo tenei kaupapa. I te pukapuka nei rangona ai ko te reo o tenei tira wahine Maori, me ona kanorautanga. Me pewhea e kore ai— no nga pito katoa o te motu te tira nei, mai i te Ara a Kewa, tae atu ra ki te raki, ki te Hiku o Te Ika. Kuia mai, mama mai, rangatahi mai, teina mai, tuakana mai, katoa nga Ika a Whiro nei no nga rangapu ngahuru ma wha o te whare o reo kia tika, kia rere, kia Maori. Ko etahi he pouako, he kaitito, he kaimahi kawanatanga, he kaipakihi, he toki hakinakina, he ringa toi, he kaihaka, he kaipapaho, he roia, he kaiwhakatere waka. Heoi ano, ko te katoa he aroha nui ki te reo Maori, a, kua whakapeto ngoi, kua whakaheke werawera i roto i nga tau ki te whakapakari i o ratou reo, e tu ai ratou hei tuara mo tenei reo puiaki nei i roto i a ratou mahi katoa, i roto hoki i o ratou kainga. Kei oku tuakana o Te Panekiretanga, mo koutou i whakaatu i te rerehua me te motuhaketanga o to tatou reo ki te ao, e kore e mutu nga mihi. He toikupu, he kaiwhakatutu hoki a Dr Maya Angelou— ko ana kupu tana rakau, ko te kaikiri, ko te kuare me te ahikauri ana tino hoariri. Ko te tino rongonui pea o ana tuhinga, ko I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969), he pukapuka haukiri i korerotia ra tona ano whanaketanga, tae atu ki te pangia ona e te kaikiri, e te tukino, me tana whai ki te whakatinana i tana mana motuhake. E hia ke nei nga tohu i whakawhiwhia ai ki a Angelou i te wa i a ia, tae atu ki te Presidential Medal of Freedom i te tau 2010, me te BET Honors Award for Literary Arts i te tau 2012. He rite tonu tana tuhi korero mo te kaikiri, mo te tohe, mo te whai ora, mo nga wheako hoki o te wahine me te kirimangu, ma roto i tona reo ahurei, i ona whakaaro atamai, me tana tohungatanga ki te tuitui i te whakatuma me te whakatoi, i te aroha me te riri. No te tau 1928 whanau mai ai te manu whati mahanga nei, a, no te tau 2014 rere atu ai ki tua o te arai.
