Anne-Marie (or Ani to us!) is a proud Māori from Te Rarawa iwi in Hokianga, Aotearoa, now living on unceded Wangal Country. She’s a cultural producer, editor, writer and all-around creative genius. Recently, she’s been weaving magic as the editor of Woven, Whisper Songs, and More Than These Bones, and co-editing Solid Air.

From co-directing the Queensland Poetry Festival to curating the 2024 Writers Programme for the Aotearoa New Zealand International Arts Festival, Ani’s always cooking up something exciting. Her debut poetry collection Mettle is coming in 2025. Watch this space!
