michaela keeble
Kia ora! I'm Michaela, a lover of birds, fish and social justice. I descend from UK, Austrian and German immigrants, and grew up on Wurundjeri country in Naarm. I'm now lucky to live in Aotearoa with my partner and kids, on their ancestral whenua.
Along with my son Kerehi Grace, and the incredible illustrator Tokerau Brown, we've just published a children's book. Look out for Paku Manu Ariki Whakatakapōkai (Gecko Press, 2023)!
My first full-length collection of poetry, surrender, was published by Taraheke in May 2022, and long-listed for the Ockham New Zealand Book Awards. My little origami chapbook intertidal, about change underway in our oceans, was published by our selves at Anemone Press in early 2020.
I'm a hopeless anticolonial love poet, lucky to be published in great places, including in Ōrongohau | Best New Zealand Poems, Intimate Relations: Communicating in the Anthropocene (Lexington Press), and No Other Place to Stand (Auckland University Press). Other poetry, essays & fiction have appeared in Pantograph Punch, Capital, The Spinoff, Newsroom, Cordite, Plumwood Mountain, Westerly & elsewhere.
