Alongside this Maui and Prometheus get into a very hot relationship. \u003ci\u003eEchidna\u003c\/i\u003e contends with three strands of tradition; Greek mythology, Christianity and Maori esoteric knowledge, and through weaving them together attempts to create a queerer whole. It is a book that is in conversation with the work of many others; from Milton and R.S. Thomas to jayy dodd and Joshua Whitehead to Hinemoana Baker and Keri Hulme. Situating and building its own world out of a community of queer and Maori\/Pasifika writing, it carefully places itself in a whakapapa of takatapui story-telling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eessa may ranapiri (Ngaati Raukawa, Highgate, Na Guinnich) is the author of this book.
