Out of Sri Lanka: Tamil, Sinhala & English Poetry from Sri Lanka and its Diasporas
Sri Lankan poetry in Tamil, Sinhala and English, gathered across the divisions of a civil war.
Edited by Vidyan Ravinthiran, Seni Seneviratne and Shash Trevett, this anthology brings together poets writing in all three languages, on the island and in the diaspora, across decades that include the war. The editorial decision to hold the three traditions in one volume is the point of it.

Out of Sri Lanka: Tamil, Sinhala & English Poetry from Sri Lanka and its Diasporas, edited by Vidyan Ravinthiran, Seni Seneviratne, and Shash Trevett. A truly excellent collection, worthy of making the best non-fiction of 2023 list.
