BLACK FOREST – POETS OF THE PACIFIC: MARSH, SOAKAI, TAPUA’I
Aotearoa has seen an explosion of poets rise over the past decade. Like trees in a forest, they each grow in different ways. We are thrilled to present this power panel of Pasifika poets, from grassroots emerging to established and beyond. Our very first Pasifika Poet Laureate Selina Tusitala Marsh joins spoken word artists Aigagalefili Fepulea’I Tapua’i and Zech Soakai. In this solid hour of poetic justice, the writers talk all things poetry with Lana Lopesi.
