Soft Side of Red

Description

In her debut poetry collection, Soft Side of Red, Christine Shamista reflects on her experiences living in Sri Lanka, England, and Australia as part of the Sri Lankan Tamil diaspora. Shamista's poems reveal layers of the self through her journey leaving her ancestral home during a civil war and living in and between England and Australia.

Her poetry recounts experiences of racism—both casual and systemic—and her journey of discovering delight and pride in race and identity despite these experiences.
