Abstract
Poetry from Mua Strickson-Pua, an Aotearoa-born Samoan Chinese poet, short story writer, artist, story-teller, comedian, freestyle rapper, social commentator and ordained Presbyterian PIC minister. Aiga Pua from Papa Sataua Savaii, and Purcell from Malaela, Upolu, Samoa. He is married to Linda, father to Ejay and Feleti (of Nesian Mystik fame), Papa to Reuben, Wilco, Jayda, Chloe, Dremayer, Cheden and Jane Filemu. His first collection of poetry, Matua, was published by Pohutukawa Press in 2006.
