poetry

In these poems, Thompson Charlie explores the tragedy of displacement. Without any means of economic support, he finds his life anchor-less in a foreign environment. His  reveals an honest and tortured sensibility appalled at his own abrogation of duty and the disintegration of his inner world. It is a poignant journey of loneliness and disillusionment with a cruel political system—after his country gained independence—that persecutes and dehumanizes its own people.
