Choice News Tuesday: New Zealander named first Commonwealth Poet Laureate

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Good news for fans of creative expression and kiwi excellence ... poet Selina Tusitala Marsh has been announced as the inaugural Commonwealth Poet Laureate!

Marsh says, "When we honour the artistry within our communities, whether it flows from Sāmoa, my mother's island, or New Zealand, where I was born and grew up, we recognise the inherent dignity and worth of every person whose story deserves to be told."

Congratulations Selina, ka pai.

We hope this news brings a smile!
