  At the core of this debut collection is a question – what is worth holding onto?
  Through poetic experiments that blend the academic and the artistic, Rhiya Pau queries complex characters and tender landscapes. Routes journeys from Ba's kitchen in Sonia Gardens to Independence hour in Delhi, across the pink shores of Nakuru, to meet a painter on Lee High Road.
  Celebrating fifty years since her community arrived in the UK, Pau chronicles the migratory histories of her ancestors and simultaneously lays bare the conflicts of identity that arise from being a member of the East African-Indian diaspora. In this multilingual discourse exhibiting vast formal range, Pau wrestles with language, narrative and memory, daring to navigate their collective fallibilities to architect her own identity.
  '[Routes]...holds up to the light the wisdom of the past, and asks what else is passed down along with it...a work of humane intelligence, formal experiment and linguistic verve' - Sarah Howe, Judge of Eric Gregory Awards 2022

  This book is all about the poems I have written on the things surrounding me when I'm lonely vs. being around many people. The book will have poems in a sequence to compare having nothing vs having everything. If you are open to new ideas and revelations, this book is specifically for you. Do not let your personal beliefs affect the book's purpose. Just enjoy and be prepared for a rollercoaster of different quality poems. 
  In a world increasingly cluttered with noise and haste, "Nothing vs Everything Vice Versa" emerges as a beacon of clarity and insight, delving into the profound realms of words, the beauty of life, and the essence of patience with purpose. This audiobook, narrated with a compelling voice that weaves through the intricacies of human experiences and philosophical musings, invites listeners on a journey that challenges perceptions, enlightens minds, and soothes souls. The narrative begins by exploring the power of words—seemingly simple symbols that can uplift or destroy, enlighten or obscure. 
  "Nothing vs Everything Vice Versa" eloquently argues that words are not mere communication vehicles, but potent tools that shape our realities, beliefs, and identities. Through captivating stories and thoughtful analyses, the audiobook reveals how the words we choose to use and the narratives we tell ourselves and others construct the edifice of our lives. It emphasizes the responsibility that comes with this power and the transformative potential of mindful communication. 
  As the journey progresses, the audiobook blossoms into celebrating life's beauty. It paints vivid landscapes of the human condition, exploring the depths of sorrow the peaks of joy, and everything in between. 
  "Nothing vs Everything Vice Versa" does not shy away from the complexities and contradictions inherent in living, but instead embraces them as sources of strength and wisdom.

  This book was written over a period of ten years. These poems are inspirational, they leave the reader with points to ponder. The book is inspired by real life experiences and stories from those around me. The book covers a wide range of topics from family dynamics, love, oppression, xenophobia, discrimination. It touches on issues, that people are not comfortable sharing. The book cover was painted by a great friend, whom I consider a sister, a Kenyan painter and art entrepreneur Wanjiru Kibera. We met in France 10 years ago. So I hope this book will be a full artistic encounter, that will enrich and touch  your soul. I hope it will cause reflective thinking.  
  As, for me the author, I have a Bachelor's degree in French Theatre and Cinema, both practical and theoretical (Arts du Spectacle/Performing Arts) from the prestigious French University : Université de Grenoble Alpes.

  In Conversation

  Janice M Whyne

  Since childhood, Janice Whyne has been a words person, writing prose-filled Christmas cards, songs and poetry. She sees poetry as a means of self-expression. A conduit and a safe space for our emotions, feelings and lived experiences. She's a Londoner by birthplace, a Jamaican by birthright, and also regards Indonesia as another homeland. 
  In Conversation is a personal milestone in Janice's journey of rediscovering her creative self. Along the way, she's ventured into the world of open mics, spoken word and poetry slams; winning 1st runner-up at the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival Poetry Slam 2019 & 2022. 
  The poems in In Conversation began their lives with a word(s) exchanged in conversation or that captured her attention in something she was listening to or viewing. She regards them as articulations of the said and unsaid; with the poetic voice in them not always hers, but rather an expression of the voice(s) of others. 
  Readers have described it as unapologetic, raw, poignant, vulnerable and brave: a journey. 
  "It speaks of someone that feels and loves much for this world, the wonderful imperfect people in it, and the injustices that go on."  
  Themes of life, loss, love, protest and more are awaiting all who choose to engage in conversation with these poems. 
  Her poem 'Sitting with Amazing' is part of The Poetry Archive Now Worldview 2021 Winners collection. Other poems have been featured in ‘Coffee & Contemplation: a taste of empowerment’ (2020), Coffee People Zine, Issue 10 (2020), All My Relations, Volume 5, Talbot-Heindl (2023), ‘Her locks unveiled: poems from the Black in White poetry competition’ (2023) as well as in other online and printed mediums.
