Cauc/asian by Neetha Kunaratnam

In this collection, Neetha Kunaratnam interrogates his experience of being Asian in a Caucasian context, and that of his children growing up with dual 'Cauc/asian’ heritage. There are poems here that consider the links between colonialism, plunder and ecological collapse, while others ponder the ethics of killing a mosquito or the status of a ‘B&Q Buddha’, all as attentive to the world’s minutiae as to the global challenges we face.
