Book - Tint

This third collection in the debut trilogy by Dunia Lambsy is her most intimate work yet. It celebrates and questions personal intimacy between the soul and the self using emotional colour as a concept where each poem resides. The juxtaposition between childlike musing at notional rainbows and world weariness, Tint occupies the space between wishes and being betrayed by reality on topics including personal identity, social justice, family, love, reflection, genocide, diaspora and Palestine. The collection features Diaspora and Oil which were selected to form part of the 2025 Poems From The Washing Lines art installation and poetry performance live event bringing together 'winning poets from around the world to share personal stories, cultural memory, and poetic expression.'
