Description
Notes from a Shipwreck, Jessica Mookherjee's third collection of poetry, is a richly detailed and illuminating exploration of dislocation and longing. Her poems navigate the complex tides of history, where migration, colonialism, pandemics, and climate change shape our journey.
The sea is a territory of grief and transformation, full of 'small acts of magic'. Mookherjee's poetry encompasses the many journeys embarked on - seeking refuge, escape, or exile - and explores what makes a land and person, the human instinct to seek belonging.
