This Pounamu pendant celebrates the raw beauty of New Zealand greenstone. The front is fully raw and live, retaining its natural texture and edges, reminiscent of a traditional adze (toki) shape — a symbol of strength, craftsmanship, and ancestral connection. Polished on the sides and back for smooth wear, this pendant is tactile, grounding, and visually striking.

🔹 Cultural & Spiritual Significance

Pounamu is sacred to the Māori people of Aotearoa, valued for protection, guidance, and spiritual connection. Adze-shaped forms historically symbolize work, skill, and mana (personal power/authority). Wearing a raw adze-style Pounamu pendant connects the wearer with ancestral energy, the land, and waterways, grounding spirit and body while inviting clarity and resilience.

The raw surface reminds us that nature’s power is untamed and sacred, making each pendant one-of-a-kind.

Anne Carson is a Genius
Format: Hardcover
There is no one writing right now -- in essays, novels, poems or short stories -- who is as consistently brilliant as Anne Carson. Her last book, AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF RED contained some of the finest, most exquisite writing I've ever read; and this next collection is a masterpiece. There is a long essay in the book titled IRONY IS NOT ENOUGH: My Life As Catherine Deneuve that is at once moving, sexy and intelligent. There are also a sequence of poems about Hoppers paintings, paired with St. Augustine's Confessions that show perfectly how Carson dances on the fault lines of the modern and the ancient. This woman will win a Nobel Prize.

Interesting juxtapositions - some successes, some failures
Format: Paperback
As is to be expected from Anne Carson, the breadth of her knowledge results in thought-provoking writing even when it fails as "poetry". An example Hopper:Confessions begins with a quotation from Edward Hopper, followed with 9 separately title poems accompanied by quotations from Augustine's Confessions, and ending with a piece by Hopper. Her essay on female pollution in antiquity is excellent scholarship made enjoyable reading for the "common reading". Several pieces, or portions of pieces, consider Lazarus raising interesting issues from the perspective of Lazarus ... what is his reaction at being called forth (rotting?) from the grave? While many of the pieces, especially the very short pieces, are not impressive, the book is worth your time - for the reflections it provokes in the reader.
