Light by Souvankham Thammavongsa, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Souvankham Thammavongsa's third book of poetry, Light, examines the word that gives the collection its name. There are poems about a sparkle, about how to say light, about a scarecrow, a dung beetle, a fish without eyes. Known for her precision and elegance, for her small clear voice, for distilling meaning from details, for not wasting words, Thammavongsa confirms her gifts with these new poems. Light is a work that shines with rigour, humour, courage and grit. | Light by Souvankham Thammavongsa, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
