Synopsis "Poems"

This, my first collection of poetry, reflects my heritage, professional life, and other stories. I am Malaysian of Sri Lankan Tamil descent. I have lived in the U.K and in the West Midlands throughout my adult life. In this collection I have tried to weave the threads of the vibrant multilingual Malaysian culture into my Malaysian themed poems from our love of food to childhood memories. I have expressed myself in Malaysian English alongside some lines in Malay and Tamil. These poems are perhaps best realised as spoken word. A significant part of my identity is defined by medicine. I hope the poems echoing my time as a junior doctor and a GP show some of the raw emotion and humour associated with life in clinical medicine. I have referenced the work of V.V. Ganeshananthan's novel Brotherless Night and Philip Larkin's poem This Be The Verse in two of my poems on heritage and parents respectively. Interspersed among my poems are some sketches which I hope add a visual companion to the words. My wish is that you read my poems and perhaps find a thread or nugget that chimes with your own story
