Book synopsis

Offering a poetic landscape that echoes themes of migration, family, love, and loss, this collection of poems reflects the author's personal journey as a woman of Sri Lankan and English heritage. The poems cross oceans and centuries, traveling from colonial Britain to Ceylon in the 15th century and back to Yorkshire in the 20th Century. Elsewhere, time collapses and carries her from a 21st century Leeds back to the flax mills of the 19th century and another poem, based on childhood memories, places her in 1950's Yorkshire but echoes links with her Sri Lankan heritage.
