KAORE HE PENE
Ka hanga ngā kupu kau i ngā rerenga kōrero koretake
ka noho hei kōrero teka kau i roto i te whakapono
ko tāu e kōrero nei
koia te mea e hiahia ana te iwi kia rongo
He moana whānui te rotarota
o ngā pono kare ā-roto
i tangohia mai i
ngā wheako ngākau nui
He pikitia peita ngā whiti
i waenganui i ngā rārangi kikorangi angiangi
me te paraihe o te pene
i runga i te kānawehi pepa
Ehara i te mea koinei te āhua o te pānui i te rotarota
engari me pēhea te pānga ki a koe
ehara i te āhua o te whiti
engari he aha tāu e kite nei?
Koinei te pūkenga
o te tohunga rotarota
ko wai e peita ana i tētahi pikitia
me te pene anake
Kia taea ai e rātou te whakarato
te hunga i ngaro i te pōuriuri
he tirohanga - he ataahua
he māramatanga – he tumanako

A poetic memoir across five decades The Omnibus opens a window onto five decades of the author’s innermost thoughts and lived experience. Bringing together three previously published works—The Arrangement of a Poetic Memoir, Infinite Destinies, and 1976—this collection invites readers into the literary journal of one man’s life.
A journey through darkness, laughter, and identity. The poems guide the reader from the darkness of mental health struggles to the lightness of laughter, through the pain of not knowing who you are or why you are here at all. Like a teardrop rolling from eye to lip upon a blushing cheek, the taste remains the same, no matter which emotion brought it forth. That salt carries the imprint of a veteran seafarer’s soul.
Richards has sailed the oceans of human emotion and beyond, shaping those experiences into the words contained within these pages. The Omnibus gathers a trilogy of colliding worlds into one unforgettable journey.
There are three sorts of people
Those who are alive
Those who are dead
And those who are at sea.
— Aristotle

E kiia ana he mea ngaro nō te wā rotarota o muri-hou, kei te haere tonu tana tuhituhi, e rima tekau tau pea i muri i tana tīmatanga ki te pene, ā, kāore e whakaatu ana i ngā tohu o te puhoi haere.
Kāore e mutu tana hiahia nui ki te waiho i tētahi taonga tuku iho mō ngā reanga o muri mai .
