Vahni Capildeo Ordre des livres
Vahni Capildeo est une écrivaine dont l'œuvre est profondément façonnée par une riche tapisserie d'influences, des connexions caribéennes et de l'héritage de la diaspora indienne aux paysages qu'elle traverse et habite. Sa poésie explore les thèmes de l'identité et du déracinement avec une voix distinctive et stratifiée qui puise dans diverses sources. L'approche de Capildeo en matière d'écriture est profondément informée par un parcours universitaire, ce qui transparaît dans les explorations linguistiques et culturelles complexes qui tissent ses recueils.
