Life, as we knew it, changed completely from March 2020 when Koviki forced Aotearoa New Zealand, and the rest of our world, into lockdown.

Three years on, the cost to our overall mental health and wellbeing is incalculable.

Our Koviki Tears book is a collection of poetry and short stories, created and shared by over 70 courageous writers ranging from age 10years old to 76years old (many of whom are first-timers), highlighting some of their most personal heartbreaks, reflections, and hope-filled experiences through the Covid-19 lockdowns and afterwards.
