Will poetry help Canadians face up to Air India flight 182?
The Search: Will poetry help Canadians face up to Air India flight 182?
Only a few journalists (including The Vancouver Sun’s Kim Bolan) and Canadian writers have been brave enough to explore the full horror of Air India Flight 182.
The most recent to delve into the pain and injustice is New Westminster lawyer and poet Renee Sarojini Saklikar, whose aunt and uncle were murdered in the bombing.”
Offering words for the unspeakable
Offering words for the unspeakable, from the Vancouver Sun:
For traumas on the scale of Air India, Saklikar serves as a poetguide who can help us relive the Air India trauma in a way that offers true healing. Filled with layers of meaning and often challenging, Saklikar’s masterpiece brings out universal themes of suffering as she lets specific details of the facts and her imagination emerge. Each section is poetically surprising and penetrating. She integrates the fragments. She offers words for the unspeakable.”
