Spanning a thirty-year history, the pamphlet delves into the shadow of the Sri Lankan civil war, told through the voices of first and second-generation British Tamils. What makes this collection truly remarkable is its poetic sensibility, which seamlessly weaves themes of migration, conflict, and empathy with a deftness of touch. Lawrence skillfully peels back layers of cultural identities, navigating through zones of language, forging new identities in unexpected places, and even rescuing moments that slip into the soil of early motherhood. His words evoke a sense of urgency and tenderness, as he explores the complexities of love in a world that often feels fragmented and broken. This collection holds a candle to the dark, brimming with courageous and complex love. It is a testament to Lawrence's talent and his ability to capture the essence of human experience in his poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 48g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 129 x 196 x 10 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781913211769\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sundra Lawrence","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44099006923002,"sku":"9781913211769","price":5.11,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_d45dca0b-93ac-4536-b97d-89f78e6a43fb.jpg?v=1654416294","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/warriors-9781913211769","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
