Mists and Monsoons

This new collection of poetry from Bashabi
Fraser is rooted in the swirling mists of Scotland
and the drenching monsoons of India, taking
inspiration from the sites that raise wonder and
awe. The poems bring together Fraser’s reflections
on colonialism, literary culture and identity,
encompassing continents and reaching beyond to
transnational responses. Rich in imagery and deeply
reflective, each verse invites readers to discover
how two seemingly distant worlds can speak the
same emotional language.
This collection will appeal to readers who love
poetry inspired by place, culture, and the natural
world. It is ideal for anyone with a connection
to Scotland or India, as well as those who enjoy
thoughtful, lyrical writing that explores identity,
travel, heritage, and the shared experiences that
unite people across cultures. Whether you are an
avid poetry reader or simply seeking moments of
reflection and beauty, these poems offer a journey
that resonates long after the final page.
