About this title

Synopsis

A poignant exploration of identity, displacement, and belonging through experimental verse.

Vahni Capildeo, known for her innovative style and collaborative performances, presents a compelling collection that delves into the emotional complexities of separation. Born in Trinidad and a Rhodes scholar, Capildeo's poems navigate the heartaches and challenges of leaving behind both a significant relationship and one's homeland.

Measures of Expatriation invites readers to experience the nuances of cultural displacement and the search for self. Through vivid imagery and introspective reflections, Capildeo's work resonates with those who have grappled with loss, longing, and the quest for identity. This collection is perfect for readers of contemporary poetry and those interested in postcolonial literature. Discover the power of language to capture the essence of human experience and the enduring search for home.
