In Adaivukaalathin Paadalkal Songs in a Time of Confinement, Rashmy reveals the pandemic to be a time of recollection for survivors of other catastrophes like war and exile. Counting time through a hundred and one poems, the poet unravels memories of homeland, love, desire, war, faith, hauntings, and isolation–recalling curfews, confinement during wartime, and the uncertainties of sudden and uncontrollable change. Displaced by war and haunted by the landscape he treasures, he writes: “how shall I say this my son/ your sea is different.”
Presented here in Nedra Rodrigo’s award-winning translation, and illustrated with Rashmy’s woodcuts, this bilingual Tamil/English edition contributes to a vital archive of Tamil war-related writing from Ilankai.
