Description

With themes of longing, transition and memory, 'On elephant's shoulders' explores the poet's South Indian heritage relocated to New Zealand and tries to unlayer the complexity of the migrant experience.

For Sudha this has meant experiencing the riches of a new culture and a new landscape while managing the realities of marginalisation. And ultimately a transformation into a person of the Pacific, still grounded in her family and her Hindu beliefs.
