About the book
This Pasifika poetry collection explores memory, family and cultural belonging.
Discover the world.
One book at a time.
Selina Tusitala Marsh has Tuvaluan and Samoan ancestry among her cultural connections and writes in New Zealand. Fast Talking PI foregrounds performance, Dark Sparring connects grief with training, and Tightrope examines personal and public tensions. These are three distinct collections by one poet, rather than a survey of Tuvalu’s literature. Read this as a diasporic route; broader author representation requires further verified editions. Mophead and Wot Knot You Got? extend this diasporic selection with a graphic memoir and a creative activity book for younger readers.

This Pasifika poetry collection explores memory, family and cultural belonging.

Marsh’s debut collection combines personal stories, poetic argument and the energy of performance poetry.

Grief for her mother and kickboxing training shape a collection that also invokes Tuvalu’s faatele dance.

The poet’s graphic memoir explores growing up in New Zealand and learning to value difference.
