About The Book 
We Called the River Red: Poetry from a Violent Homeland is not just a few poems strung together. The poems in the collection are a process, a narrative of the coming of age of a poetic conscience in exile. Each poem speaks of a different stage in the development of politics, personality, and perception of its author. Together, they tell a story. Starting with an apolitical voice, the poems one after the other, trace how a person in exile has learnt to come to terms with her identity, the ‘mainland’ mentality she is confronted with everyday, and the fears and conflicts besetting her peripheralised homeland.
