The Darkness I Carry: A Poetic Journey Into the Self

By Mathura Kulendiralingam

The Darkness I Carry explores themes of war and displacement, lost relationships, and one's search for love and belonging. Written during the COVID-19 pandemic, the poems tell a story of a Tamil woman who is forced to place a temporary pause in her life to re-visit and process past memories and traumas.

The poems in this book are a gentle reminder that light and darkness co-exist and one must sit and navigate through their dark experiences to find the light in them, so that they may shed their fears and move on to the future with hope.
