The Go-Away Bird

By Seni Seneviratne

In her fourth collection, Seni Seneviratne extends her reputation as a fine poet whose incisive social, ecological and political concerns are matched by her meticulous care with the shape of each poem and the architecture of the whole, where individual poems dialogue with each other across five sections. In this collection, the connecting thread is the bird, both in its observed physical otherness and as an image that carries cultural and historical resonances. As a poet who balances careful observation with imaginative flight, Seni Seneviratne addresses both heart and mind.
