Kamalabooshanie Thirunavukkarasu – författare

An uplifting collection of poems inspired by the author’s rich and varied life in rural Batticaloa, Sri Lanka.  The pages bring to life how the poet is touched by the magic of nature and rustic landscapes, but is also driven to face the social issues of the day through her deep commitment to make the world a better place.  Read on to see how these experiences from half a century ago resonate to the core of human spirit now, and into the future.

Compelled by the need to make her mother’s voice heard by generations to come, her daughter Malliha Sinniah includes her translation in English with a glossary, to cater to the non-Tamil speaking reader.

The book was first published in May 2018.  This release in 2019 carries five additional poems.

In honour of the author’s dedication to the Ramakrishna Mission, all royalties from Poetry from Batticaloa are donated to the Brisbane chapter of the Vedanta Centre (Ramakrishna Mission in Australia).
