Let The Conch Speak

In her first collection of poetry, Nikhat Shameem writes of those costs and benefits of her long journeys and travels, some through force of circumstances, others through choice. Her journey through poetry is interwoven with other stories, those of her father’s and her son’s as they impacted on her life. The poems span her life from Fiji, Aotearoa, England, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Sudan and back in Fiji. Her narratives are interwoven with feelings and experiences, love and loss, happiness and pain, fear and hope, sunshine and rain. They tell her story.
