Muse, Martyr and Epiphany

“Lawanya’s poetic work is an exploration of paradoxes: of innocence and innocence lost, of impulse and restraint, of knowing and ignorance. She allows her adventurous heart to get lost from time to time but succeeds in navigating it back home: a place of age old wisdom. This book is a testament not only to her courage and resilience but to that of an entire nation.” – Asela Abeywardene, Artist and Writer

“Lawanya Wijesekara’s three-part collection is an assemblage of reflection, a consideration of moments of stubborn indelibility, which trace a journey through territories that are uneven and even unforgiving and yet worthy of soft engagement.” – Malinda Seneviratne, Writer, Journalist, Political analyst, Poet
