Lockdown poems by Shanthi Weerawardene
Shanthi’s maiden effort is unique in the magnificence of its production. Each poem is accompanied by a striking full-page illustration.
She writes with a simplicity and sensitivity which would appeal to a wide audience.
Her poems are a paean to nature, interspersed with a sprinkling of philosophy. They enhance our awareness of the environment, inducing us to look again at the trees we often ignore, the clouds above.
Tread lightly, be gentle on your feet
Lest you hurt your Mother Earth when you walk
For she has to bear your weight on her back
She may break, don’t take a chance
There is a spontaneity and freshness in her writing, which will be appreciated, especially by the younger reader. The illustrations done by her sister Preethi, complement her poetry and enhance their audience appeal.
The book is priced at Rs.2,500.
