Cauc/asian by Neetha Kunaratnam #Chileanpoetry — Stuart McPhersonIn 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 worlds minutiae as to the global challenges we face.
