A collection of Sinhala verse by Ariyawansa Ranaweera, one of the poets working in Sinhala whose writing has appeared steadily over recent decades. It is a slim volume, of the kind Sri Lankan poetry has long been published in — a single sitting's reading, meant to be returned to rather than got through.
The book is written entirely in Sinhala and printed in Sinhala script. There is no English translation and no parallel text, so it will be of use only to someone who reads Sinhala comfortably. International buyers ordering for a reader who does not should know that before they order.
The publisher is Godage, an established Colombo house with a long list of Sinhala literary titles, including a good deal of poetry that larger commercial publishers would not carry.
It suits readers following contemporary Sinhala poetry, students and teachers of Sinhala literature, and Sri Lankans abroad building a shelf of verse in their own language — the sort of title that is straightforward to find in Colombo bookshops and awkward to come by anywhere else.
