most iconic poets, Hone Tuwhare, was celebrated in Auckland last night with the establishment of what his family hope will be New Zealand's first Maori writers' residence.Hone Tuwhare died aged 85 in January 2008, and lived the last 16 years of his life in the South Otago settlement of Kaka Point, in his seaside crib.
Last year his family set up The Hone Tuwhare Charitable Trust to preserve his work and the modest home, with the hope of turning it into a writers' residence.
