NZ Poetry

Vultures is about womanhood, about dirt and queerness and heartbreak and love and a dark lake at night. It’s about a girl, a god, and a glow in the dark statue of the virgin mary with a busted nose. It's a gritty celebration of queer love. It’s about religious shame, loss and redemption. A story of girls gone missing at the marsh, and finding themselves at the bottom of it.
