Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The sensuous imagery and courageous protest are at the service of a moral mind. In this new collection, the poet's concerns have been altered by 'that other one / who may turn out lover or scorching sun'. But a romantic meeting is not the book's entire theme. True, 'the body's / sinuous trail of / rising desire' runs through the book, with its garden in the city, like water. The poet asks what will be left of all this experience, in the end? Seeking to answer that she imagines migrant refugees in the Mediterranean and villagers after a tsunami, memorialises her father in his life crossing the river into which she is scattering his ashes, narrates the lifelong actions of a simple villager drawing water from a well, visits the caves of Buddhas or gods; and although 'There are places that will / Never be known to us / The deepest recesses / That we'll refuse to enter', although a lover may betray and the flowers of the garden are scattered, the poet attempts to - perhaps does - find deliverance in kindness, the end of illusion, and the recovery of love in song.

Soft cover. Condition: New. Father Cabraal's Recipe for Love Cake explores the complex legacies of colonial exploitation and slavery in a tropical island in the Indian Ocean (a loosely fictionalised Sri Lanka). Two compelling stories run in parallel: In the 21st century, Katharina Silvaria, formerly a tv news journalist and war reporter based in London, now lives on the island, in an ancient house she has recently inherited. Damaged by her experiences as a war reporter and seeking a quiet life, Katharina earns a living by baking and exporting cakes made to an old recipe she found in the house. Amid one of the periodic rebellions against a repressive and unjust government, wounded fugitive Rajiv Almeida takes refuge in Katharina's house, and she reluctantly agrees to shelter him from the police. In the late 17th century, significant areas of the island are controlled by a powerful European trading enterprise known only as The Company. Santiago De Melo, one of the first Europeans to reside in the island Fort, builds an imposing house for himself and, defying convention, chooses as his bride a local woman, Maria, who has good reason to hate The Company. Unusually, Maria has inherited from her lover - and now runs - one of the best pepper farms in the area. But the casually brutal deputy governor of the island is determined to seize control of its lucrative pepper trade, and tragedy follows.…
