A Compound of Words (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789382579755)

'A collection suspended in a perpetual state of homecoming. Bolger navigates the worlds she inhabits with both the feverishness of a new rasika and the familiarity of an insider'. -- Arundhathi Subramaniam

' A generous and humbling collection that dances lightly between languages. Often angry and vital, Bolger sharpens her words and brings us on a journey that embraces both the sensuality and discomfort of being human. Shifting between worlds and perspectives, this is a raw exploration of what it means to be alive in a world that is as devastating as it is beautiful.' -- Alvy Carragher
