Counting time through a hundred and one poems, the poet unravels memories of homeland, love, desire, war, faith, hauntings, and isolation--recalling curfews, confinement during wartime, and the uncertainties of sudden and uncontrollable change. Displaced by war and haunted by the landscape he treasures, he writes: \"how shall I say this my son\/ your sea is different.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented here in Nedra Rodrigo's award-winning translation, and illustrated with Rashmy's woodcuts, this bilingual Tamil\/English edition contributes to a vital archive of Tamil war-related writing from Ilankai.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44080436674583,"sku":"9781069370426","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/Draw_book_959cc1dc-6564-4f0e-902a-cafcb9885907.png?v=1765143862","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/rashmy-songs-in-apb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
