Indran Amirthanayagam's Seer is a multi-lingual, multi- coastal, multi-dimensional poetic record of a time in our collective history when our potential human demise loomed large and when the only way to save ourselves seemed to be separation and isolation. In this new collection, Amirthanayagam documents--with his evocative imagery and generous lyricism--our fears, hopes and dreams during a dark time. Through gustatory cellular tableaus, questions and meditations, this language soars, challenges and invites.
