iti te kupu (small words in a vast universe)

Iti te Kupu is a newsletter slash e-zine published by me, Nadine Hura. Subscribers can expect a semi-regular mixed bag of politics and sweets directly to the inbox: from essays, columns, curated recommendations and occasional forays into comedic auto-fiction. Kaupapa is creative resistance as radical practice.

Writing your own bio sucks, here's what others have said:

I descend from two rivers, Waiōmio in Te Tai Tokerau and Mersey in England, and I live in Wellington, Aotearoa, New Zealand. I work in the climate change meets-the-arts sector, and am a member of an indigenous publishing collective Taraheke Press. I published my first chapbook, Narrating the seasons of Grief in 2023 and am working on a collection of essays for publication with BWB in 2024.

You can find my writing in some lovely physical books like Woven, Rapture, No Other Place to Stand, Te Awa o Kupu, Ngā Kupu Wero, We Are Here, as well as the Huia anthologies 13, 14, 15, and online in Guernica, Pantograph Punch, and e-Tangata.

I think this is my favourite of all my published essays.
