Songs of Raengdailu: A Book of Poems
Poetry
2021 148 pages
'Song of Raengdailu' is an awesome and mighty poem, a poem of empowerment. 'Turn back not on your roots' is prophetically beautiful. 'Trees of my ancestors' is tremendously moving. This is a book whose strength lies in its honesty. It is unashamed to tell the truth of crimes of the past, and ongoing injustices against women. It is reminiscent of protest poetry, but protest poetry born in a place where it faces being throttled by its own gender. I hope it will be accorded the respect and honour it deserves." --- Easterine Kire, Awardee of the Governor's Medal for Excellence in Naga, Literature and the Free Voice Award by Catalan PEN Barcelona.
