On Manannan's Isle (Electronic book text)

Usha Kishore's debut collection of poems portrays the increasingly cosmopolitan nature of the Isle of Man, with the postcolonial palette of language, and culture. Usha's evocative work conscientiously explores many facets of the island like the landscape, the Celtic myth of Manannan and Manx culture, history and art. The spirit of Manannan permeates the collection; as the title poem highlights, he is but one more in the poet's pantheon of 33 million gods. From an earthy point of view, Manannan is the Manx spirit of Quocunque Jeceris Stabit (Latin for the Manx Motto "Whithersoever you throw it, it will stand." )
