Beginning with a coming of age in the 80s and 90s between Canada, the Arabian Gulf, East Africa and Kashmir, they subvert conventions of lineage, instead drawing on the truths of inter-ethnic histories amidst sparse landscapes of deserts, oceans, and mountains. They question why the only certainties of \"home\" are urgency and impossibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt its core, archipelago is a letter to the daughters who come before and after, a quiet disclosure of barbed ancestral legacies that only come into focus through poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book*hug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48851826049259,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":32.96,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781771668170","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
