More about the book

This long poem by Maori poet, Robert Sullivan, reinterprets the Orpheus myth for the South Pacific and looks at the exploratory voyages of Captain Cook in a new light. The book is a highly stylised, operatic account of the voyages. As the poem unfolds, European myth makes way for Polynesian myth.
