This weekโ€™s #ReadswithRosaPodcast episode is extra special.

In celebration of #RotumanLanguageWeek, I sit down for a chat with Rotuman poet and writer, Mere Taito. We discuss books, her first poetry collection 'The Light and Dark in Our Stuff', her contribution to the anthology Vฤ: Stories by Women of the Moana, her PhD research and the regeneration work that is happening around the Rotuman language in diasporic communities.
