Soraya Mariam Peerbaye is of Mauritian ancestry. Her poetry has been published in journals such as Prairie Fire and the New Quarterly and in Red Silk: An Anthology of South Asian Canadian Women Poets.
"A sense of place and story dominates this first collection. Soraya
Peerbaye... has an ear for languages and how it shapes
experience... Peerbaye as a companion-poet is quietly deft, her
voice ranging from lyrical to musical plain-speaking."
*Arc Poetry Magazine*
"These are marvellous poems, deft, rich, searching, and with
remarkable range: tender in recalling her father's French and
Creole roots, spare and brilliant in depicting the landscape of
Antarctica. For Peerbaye words connect lives across time and space.
Reading her poems sharpens our own connection with the world."
*John Steffler*
"If the poet has a duty to see and name, Soraya Peerbaye has
answered the call. I believe in this, the object, quotidian,
beloved, she writes, fully aware of how names change as we
encounter them, lose and regain and even rename them, in turn
renaming us. Unapologetically gentle and intimate, this ambitious
first book is not a mere coming-of-age, but a coming into one's
own, introducing us to an explorer aware of the joys and dangers of
intrusion."
*Priscila Uppal*
