Bøker av V. I. S. Cheran

This selection of poems by Cheran, one of the most important poets writing in Tamil today, charts the civil war in Sri Lanka of more than three decades, and its aftermath.Yet this is not the only narrative in this book: woven throughout are love poems and poems about displacement, exile and the experience of diaspora.

This collection of up to 50 poems translated from the original Tamil, comes with an afterword that will provide readers with the historical and political context of Sri Lanka's war, while also mapping literary developments during that period.
