Ravinthiran's second collection is a book of sonnets for his wife.
These are love poems that turn analytical, consider the world, and stand for a larger community, including readers themselves.
Many describe life in the North East for a mixed-race couple, considering both the redemptive force of love and the cultural origins of our discontent.
