The Earth In Our Bones
by Marc Nair
The Earth in Our Bones is one of the strongest collections to have emerged in recent years. Here is an intense engagement with serious issues of race and otherness; their impact on personal identity and the perplexing question of personal and cultural identity. This collection grips me in the way the author’s two art forms, poetry and photography, show us how casual scenes and throwaway objects such as beach debris may open us to a deeper connection with what we never thought of before. - Anne Lee Tzu Pheng, poet
Marc Nair in The Earth in Our Bones – his eleventh collection – presents a series of poems and photographs that move from smaller sites of race and personal identity to societal fractures and wider notions of belonging and navigating urban and natural space. Whether musing on water bottles as an offering in an ancient temple or a series of poems that create an afterlife from found objects, there is an awareness of loss, lament and longing, an acknowledgment of the lands within each of us.
