She came into the world as a bloodclot
Her mother was a twin
Her father was an eel
They hid her in the Earth
And, Oh, how magnificent she was.
Nafanua, the Samoan goddess of war, leaves the underworld to wander the earth as a half-caste girl from Christchurch.
Bloodclot is the astonishing new automythographical book by the author of Wild Dogs Under My Skirt.
Blending Samoan oral tradition and myths with the author’s own life, this provocative, confrontational collection of poetry explores the experience of living in the South Pacific.
