In the shape of his hand lay a river
In the shape of his hand lay a river. Elixir & Star Press 2024
Poetry collection. In the shape of his hand lay a river is part of a body of work written after Iona's son Reuben Winter took his life in 2020. Here, through a poetic lens, she asks unanswerable questions, embodying a multiplicity of emotions, and we are called to look at the ineffable absence of a beloved child.
A Counter of Moons
A Counter of Moons, Steele Roberts Aotearoa 2025
In 2020, Iona's son Reuben Winter died by suicide. A Counter of Moons candidly shares Iona's experiences, and her reflections challenge widespread ideas about how to deal with grief. At times raw and confronting, at others introspective and tender, this book ultimately speaks about the coexistence of love and pain. It aims to start conversations about suicide bereavement, to give words to an often wordless experience.
