Since we last checked in with Sasenarine Persaud (Fiction 2006), there have been a few additional reviews/notices of his recent book of poems, Lantana Strangling Ixora, in publications such as Asiatic, Bostonia, Muse India, the Halifax Chronicle Herald, and the Guyana Times.
Sase has just published another book, Unclosed Entrances: Selected Poems, with Guyana Classics Library. The launch was covered by the press in Guyana. He also had 4 poems (“Orchids”, “Home”, “Hickson Park: Tampa on the River”, and “The Tenth Love”) published in the Autumn/Winter issue (Vol 3 # 4/Vol 4 # 1) of South Asian Ensemble (Toronto).
You can read a short interview on his writing and yoga and Yogic Realism, which appeared in small axe, an on-line literary magazine: http://smallaxe.net/wordpress3/interviews/2012/08/31/we-chant-the-hymn-of-ages/
Congratulations, Sase!
