- Trishanku
Resource Type: Book
Published: 1989
Trishanku depicts with precision and subtlety the response of individual men and women to what Parameswaran terms 'the miscegenation of cultures.' Writing from where the Assiniboine River meets the Red, Parameswaran skillfully captures the intersection of people from India with the contemporary Canadian reality. The taut narratives of her poems offer the reader a startling and powerful collage of the experience of uprooting and resettling.
