Description
Translated from Tamil into English by Geetha Sukumaran, Pā Akilan̲ brings a unique voice and style to poetry, offering a nuanced expression of trauma and violence in Northern and Eastern Sri Lanka. His background as an art historian informs his blend of 2,000-year-old Tamil cultural and literary tradition with visual imagery.
With great subtlety, Ahilan explores the complexities of this history, creating a rich and distinct body of poetry that serves as a countermemory to torture, loss, trauma, and exile. This collection is a powerful exploration of the human experience.
