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
