Synopsis

The intricate stories told in Rodrigues portraits are matched by the rhythms and imagery in Fraser s poetry. From The Bangladeshi Gentleman to Jura Whisky , this book offers an insight into the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures in today s Scotland. By peppering her poems with both Scots words and Indian words, Fraser demonstrates the bi-cultural nature of many of today s Scots.
