About this listen

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.
