Shifting Sands
The Clearing, Little Toller Books
A meditation on displacement, migration and belonging — tracing a journey from Tamil Nadu to Norfolk to Devon, and what it means to belong to a place.
I’ve been awarded Arts Council England funding to research and write a book proposal for my first longform creative nonfiction book - a blend of memoir, cultural history and place-based research exploring ideas of migration, ecology, land and belonging.
‘Shifting Sands’ is the first thread in the journey, an essay that appears in Little Toller’s journal of nature, place and landscape, The Clearing.
