He is a storyteller who draws from wherever he is and whoever he is with, absorbing and reflecting texture, colour, nuance, shades of light and dark. Like Maui, he enjoys a good joke, and the joy and comedy of life are ever present.' - Janet Hunt, \u003ci\u003eTuwhare: a biography\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'The last Maori Modernist . . . he bestrides two worlds: his work bends and shapes the English language with impressive virtuosity, while at the same time being rich in the lexicon of Maoritanga . . .
