Cradling Memories of My Land by Jim Wungramyao Kasom

Jim Wungramyao Kasom’s second work ‘Cradling Memories of My Land‘ comes in the form of poetry after his work ‘Homecoming and Other Stories’. Kasom renders the essence of the written art through poems and anecdotes in ‘Cradling Memories of my Land‘. Kasom has his way with words that bare readers to their vulnerable self. Intricate and refined, Kasom touches identity, sense of belonging, longing, the unseen, people and the land, uncertain transition, and love in his collection of poems. In addition, this poetry book is completed with images and paintings, which is a kind of its own.
