Pilgrim by Lisabelle Tay

Pilgrim is a collection of poems by Lisabelle Tay, illustrated by Reena Makwana.

“A half-cracked shell

Morning and evening

White dew on the underside of a leaf

A gasp of air, something forgotten

now remembered

A bare kernel of deathlessness

sown silently at dusk”

 

– ‘List of Things Beyond My Bedroom Curtains’, in Pilgrim
