About this audiobook

A selection of Selina Tusitala Marsh' s most beloved poems, set to music and performed by the poet herself. ' She blows in like a song carried on a powerful current: a wild-haired woman, larger than life, carrying a tall carved stick. She loses things in that hair, she says; finds pens in there days after they went missing.' — from ' Never Piss Off a Poet' , The Guardian Selina Tusitala Marsh is a celebrated poet and performer from Aotearoa New Zealand. Professor and poet laureate, a Pasifika woman who has performed for queens and presidents, Selina says ' poetry is a way to tell our stories and make the invisible visible.' This audiobook features the poet performing thirty-six of her most powerful poems, both occasional pieces and selections from the collections Fast Talking PI, Dark Sparring and Tightrope. In ' Guys like Gaugin' and ' Kickboxing Cancer' , ' Airport Road to Apia' and ' Fast Talking PI' , and many more, Selina brings whole new worlds to life. All poems written and performed by Selina Tusitala Marsh; all music composed, produced and engineered by Tim Page.
