Book description
A NEW 2008 EDITION OF SUJATA BHATT'S CELEBRATED 1988 FIRST
COLLECTION 'Brunizem' is a dark prairie soil found in Asia, Europe and
North America, the three worlds of Sujata Bhatt's imagination. Born in
India, her mother tongue Gujarati, Bhatt was educated in the United
States and now lives in Germany. In Brunizem, her acclaimed first
collection, she explores the richness and the conflicts of moving
between cultures and languages, in poems that are passionate, direct
and eloquent. Brunizem was awarded the Commonwealth Poetry Prize
(Asia) and the Alice Hunt Bartlett Award. In 1994 Search for My Tongue
was choreographed by Daksha Sheth and performed by the UK-based South
Asian Dance Youth Company in nine cities in England and Scotland,
under the title Tongues Untied.
