My Womb, A Barren Land

'The human heart is a magnificent land. At the same time, it is a treacherous place to wander in. To read 'My Womb, A Barren Land' is to experience a landscape of emotions. In her overall excercise, she drags these emotions from their unarticulated comfort zones, emotional hiding places, and fading moments of the past to the public domain, assuming perhaps that the journey from the words and the worlds of private sufering and anxiety to the limelight of the public sphere might be a process of catharsis - for the person and collective.' - Prof. Sasanka Perera
