The poems in this book form a narrative whole that leaps between past and present, between childhood and adulthood, and between languages. Issues of cross-cultural politics and relationships are addressed, and loss across generations and migrations across continents. All of this is entwined with the search for the poet-father and the attempt to come to terms with the past.

"These poems travel continents, move through emotional and political geograpies of leaving and longing. From India to England to Canada, Rajinderpal S Pal searches for his poet father's legacy in language and body. Textured and sensuous, challenging in form and content, these poems invite us to hold them." - Roberta Rees
