Hinemoana Baker is the author of four collections of poetry and the producer of several albums of original music, sonic art, text and field recordings. Her latest book, Funkhaus, was shortlisted for New Zealand’s national book awards in 2021. These three poems are part of a larger, shared project with Micronesian poet Emelihter Kihleng and Übersee Museum in Bremen. In this project, both poets respond to various taonga (treasures) from Oceania kept in the museum and in other institutions in Germany and around Europe.
