Book Summary
Shall we not kneel instead? / Lean towards each growing thing / birdwing rhizome starEgrets, While War, award-winning writer Tishani Doshis fifth poetry collection, is alive with birds - woodpeckers and golden orioles, lapwings and grey-hooded crows, pigeons and egrets and the Ramayanas kraunca. These are creatures that know not pristine lands, but terror-fields ravaged by famine and war.Amidst such wreckage, they become prayers and prophecies, omens and oracles, messengers of gods and winged-gods themselves, holding within their wildly beating hearts news of an afterlife - Someone said, when children die, they become birds / in heaven.An extraordinary collection that navigates the deep entanglements between massacre, ageing and memory, Egrets, While War tells of a world where exile and extinction press close - The dirge of loss recovery / loss loss loss continues - but it offers, too, against the odds, a possibility of coming out alive: bedazzled, birdlike and blue-throated. Now scream, Tishani Doshi tells us, now sing.
