In Say, Sarala Estruch explores the limits of language in the face of overwhelming loss and attempts to forge a language with which to probe subjects that still remain largely taboo: grief, childhood bereavement, the challenges and possibilities of cross-cultural and interracial relationships, mixed-race identity, colonialism and its aftermath. A pamphlet that exists in the spaces left vacant by the silences in the stories that parents and grandparents tell us; Say casts a slant light on the scars our ancestors carry, both those we inherit and those we choose to leave behind.
Sarala Estruch is a writer of mixed European and Indian heritage. Her poetry, creative non-fiction, essays, and reviews have appeared in publications including amberflora, harana poetry, Wasafiri, The Poetry Review, and The Guardian, and her work has been featured on BBC Radio 3.
A winner of the Poetry School/Nine Arches Press Primers competition, her work has also been short- and long-listed for numerous prizes, including the National Poetry Competition and the Wasafiri New Writing Prize. Sarala is also an editor and critic, and a member of the Ledbury Poetry Critics. Say is her début pamphlet.
