THE COCONUT GIRL by Sunita Thind
The Coconut Girl is a collection of poems containing material that is from the Indian, female point of view with an insight into Punjabi culture. The collection provides refreshing and new viewpoint of the changing face of multi cultural Britain. The Coconut Girl features poetry of deep imagery, not least in some of the poems exploring the experience of the female body post-operatively, such as in My Womb Is A Park Of Carnage… This bountiful harvest of organs in the cracked sink.
Slurping bodily fluids on the floor. The lonesome hair of this lab rat enduring tailored hopelessness. Buttered by fear, blindly winking. Depleting fertility, the youthful marrows. Health culled, blister burns, solidified blood. The hospital highs, vampiric skin. A specimen in the jar, this disposable beauty. The diagnostic conundrum, the monochromatic health. No more premenstrual beauty. These fermenting fires. Windowless with this yawning dawn. This cerebral cortex mush, slithering out of bed. Suckling at hospital allocated opioid. The toilet bowl is a glistening stone monument. Bedazzled by urine. I am obituary thin today, this makes me gasp with whizzy delight. I am insidious to healthy, plump plush pink people. This maddening blizzard depression will not shed its snowy coat My womb is a park of carnage. THE COCONUT GIRL will be published in November 2020.
