“Book Descriptions: "it's been a while since i kitchen-handed imaginary violations onto loved one's bodies"
After publishing his first four books in the United States, i'm still growing brings the poetry of Josiah Morgan (Kāi Tahu, Ngāti Maniapoto) into print in Aotearoa for the first time. i'm still growing is a book of identities that shape-shift among the darkening landscape of mundane, suburban New Zealand. It pairs violence with sexuality, and sexuality with catharsis. This book is a eulogy to dead friends, a eulogy to a dead self, and a promise of what is to come.
"i'm still growing tackles the violence and trappings of desire with frenetic energy, queering language towards new and uninhibited meanings....This book heralds the arrival of a unique voice in Aotearoa poetry." - Chris Tse, New Zealand Poet Laureate, 2022-24” DRIVE
