Review (PDF) Dream Fish Floating
Professor Konai Helu Thaman (Acting Deputy Vice Chancellor, and UNESCO Chair in teacher education &; culture - The University of the South Pacific) says this about the collection: This is a refreshing and welcome addition to the growing list of women's writing in Oceania. Karlo draws wisdom and compassion from her ancestral cultures but is not constrained by them. Honest and unafraid, she has spread her net wide in order to capture the many concerns that many people are grappling with as they face the realities of a globalised and impersonal world. Written with passion, persistence and sensitivity, her poems are insightful, challenging and sometimes provocative. This book should inspire others, especially women, to share their experiences with the rest of the world.

This is a great piece of Pacific Literature and I recommend it to anyone interested in great poetry. Karlo, being of Tongan, Palangi, and Samoan lineage, writes a lot about her experiences with migration and genealogies in this book, which is a big part of the pacific culture. The poetry is filled with pieces of Pacific ideas (which is sadly, usually overlooked) and is an easy/fun book to read in spare time!
As the first collection from writer Karlo Mila, Dream Fish Floating has a strong voice. Mila has roots in New Zealand, Samoa and Tonga and this is felt throughout her poetry. Having personally come from Palmerston North where Mila grew up I can strongly relate to some of her poems especially `Highbury'. Also as a Paheka New Zealander, to me the ideas in her poetry are easily accessible. So Mila's collection is a worthwhile collection for all to read as she covers so many aspects and everyone can find something personal to themselves in her poetry.
