"Plastic skin
Big mouth
The other day this lady laughed when I told her where my fibres come from
But I weave, but I weave, but I weave"
Tusitala is the debut poetry collection from Danielle Kionasina Dilys Thomson. It was written for "the mothers who whispered wisdom into my ears, aunties who slipped twenty-dollar notes into my hands and sisters who cackled with me into the night. These poems are an archive of the lives we have lived together. They are eternal- like us."
