Courtney Sina Meredith is a distinguished author whose work delves into issues such as racism, sexism and poverty. Her debut poetry collection Brown Girls in Bright Red Lipstick (Beatnik, 2012) was followed by acclaimed short story collection Tail of the Taniwha (Beatnik, 2016), and historical feat The Adventures of Tupaia (Allen & Unwin, 2019).

Courtney Sina Meredith is a truly modern New Zealand writer and her poetry carries mana and strength and beauty. I can imagine that Meredith has had many labels attributed to her poetry defining her as a 'this poet' or a 'that writer' but looking past the labels that define her physiology or sexuality, there is one that underpins who she is and what she does: 'remarkable'.
