essa may ranapiri (born 1993 or 1994) is a New Zealand poet and visual artist. Their first collection of poetry, Ransack (2019), was longlisted for the 2020 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards. Their second collection, Echidna, was published in 2022. Ranapiri's first collection, Ransack, was positively reviewed by Jay Nieuwland for its embrace of queer complexity: "Not all poetry lovers will appreciate this collection. Some might find it too dense, experimental, chaotic, demanding. From my perspective it’s those exact qualities that make this work vital." Ranapiri identifies as takatāpui, and has said that this helps them feel comfortable in their Māori identity and to use Māori language in their poetry. They are of Ngāti Raukawa, Te Arawa and Ngāti Pūkeko descent and also have Scottish and English ancestry. More information...
