A Choreographer's Cartography

A unique combination of passion and compassion, sensitivity and sensuality, this collection of poetry infuses themes from the author’s South Asian heritage with the Shetland Islands—a marginalized slice of Britain. With a dramatic and distinctively personal voice, these poems touch on a wide range of subjects, from a love for language and the anguish of war to Queen Victoria and the history of the waltz.
