sargam / swargam
‘sargam / swargam evokes a deep sense of precocity in being, belonging and in the very words we choose to mean home. The pamphlet, simultaneously forthright and fragile, touches on themes of girlhood, shame, desire and an uneasy burgeoning into maturity. Through exquisitely-wrought language and precise character observations, these poems capture what it is to grow up in three different locations, illuminating the legacies of that experience.’
‘pocket-sized, but packed with a punch’
