Carrying the Ocean

By Shymala Dason

From the reviving joy of monsoon rains and the scorching smoke of Indian-Malaysian funeral rituals to the quiet solace of an evening garden, from the shallow seas around her homeland to the violence of Atlantic nor'easter and Pacific winter storms, Shymala Dason's Carrying the Ocean invites us into the immigrant journey. These intimate, personal poems move from the Malaysia of the writer's childhood to America and back again, pausing frequently to examine the cost and consequences of such journeys. These poems are for all who have traveled from home.
