Description
For many young Tibetans living out their lives in exile across the world, their idea of home is at best, imagined - assuming its own shape and form from the countless stories painstakingly recounted time and again by the elders.
This book of poems, therefore, is the poet's own attempt to preserve the memories of her homeland and of early exile life, and to capture as much of the struggles, aspirations, dreams, and hopes of the Tibetan people as they strive to protect their ancient cultural and religious identity in a world of fast-changing priorities.
So the book is at once about the pain of separation, loss, suppression, despair, doubt, and isolation as it is about resilience, starting anew, freedom, hope, acceptance, and compassion. In essence, it's about the thousand parallel lives that Tibetans live in one lifetime as they endeavor to stay true to all things Tibetan.
