Description
Poetry is my go-to medium and is, perhaps, the most representative for people of all ages. Unlike the cycles of classical heroic epics, these occasional poems are shorter, more intimate works, with a more scattered pedigree but often similar themes. The Resident was written over the last decade and features work from three countries, England, Ireland and the United Arab Emirates. It follows on the heels of the translations in The Accidental Ethnographer, composed while I was resident in Abu Dhabi and co-translated from Arabic, hence the title. I bring my own voice to the party, and in so doing, hope to encourage others who feel unrepresented to compose vignettes of their own devising.
