Mists and Monsoons

This new collection of poetry from Bashabi Fraser is rooted in the swirling mists of Scotland and the drenching monsoons of India, taking inspiration from the sites that raise wonder and awe. The poems bring together Fraser’s reflections on colonialism, literary culture and identity, encompassing continents and reaching beyond to transnational responses. Rich in imagery and deeply reflective, each verse invites readers to discover how two seemingly distant worlds can speak the same emotional language. This collection will appeal to readers who love poetry inspired by place, culture, and the natural world. It is ideal for anyone with a connection to Scotland or India, as well as those who enjoy thoughtful, lyrical writing that explores identity, travel, heritage, and the shared experiences that unite people across cultures. Whether you are an avid poetry reader or simply seeking moments of reflection and beauty, these poems offer a journey that resonates long after the final page.
