 Performing Tuwhare — Hone Tuwhare: A Biography | NZETC
’ (1972)—must have reverberated as a powerful warning, reminding her in no uncertain terms that like his ‘Maori figure’, Hone did not wish to be put on a pedestal as a larger-than-life monument, but sought a representation that allowed him to keep his ‘guts’, that re-presented his very physical and ‘real’ presence.
Hone Tuwhare is held together by Hunt’s biographical framework, but fleshed out by the voice of the poet in countless poems, interviews, letters and notes.
Though in his early years Tuwhare was surrounded by te reo Maori, he was soon discouraged from speaking the language, because his father Ben—like so many others at the time—‘believed that English was the language of the future for his son’ (28).

 Hone Tuwhare
When I first worked with Hone Tuwhare, setting up public and educational readings in Auckland and Tai Tokerau, he used to refer me to academic reviewers who had said generous things about his work.
Hone gets a kick out of literary recognition but he gets even more out of interest and appreciation from working people.
Hone recalls that when he read a new poem to a Berlin barmaid “She was so chuffed I got a free beer.” In a 1980 review Robin Healey said Tuwhare was “simply and vividly in touch with non-human life” and “showed respect for pace, movement and the surfaces of ordinary life.”

Hone Tuwhare himself was in attendance, at 84 a small, stooped slow figure, but with a cheerful grin and a bright eye.

As she was speaking, she was interrupted by one of the female Maori singers, who began, very gently, a traditional song, which was soon picked up by the other Maori singers on stage.
