BOOKS
TO THEE, SEA Published 22.11.24 Debut collection of illustrated poems on love, parents, dealing with loss, growing up in 1980s multi-cultural Britain, Palestine, genocide, struggles with self-identity, peace and hope in my approach to modern day politics, identity and modernism.
THE TURNING Published 27.3.25 The follow up to To Thee, Sea, this collection of illustrated poems is a visual invitation to the reader to interactively view things from a different angle. Each poem inhabits its own atmosphere and form tackling political art, feminist modernism, duplicity and the juxtaposition of life on everything from cats to family, women in politics, civil liberties, genocide and oh yes, Palestine.
TINT Published 30.6.25 This third collection in the debut trilogy by Dunia Lambsy is her most intimate work yet. It celebrates and questions personal intimacy between the soul and the self using emotional colour as a concept where each poem resides. The juxtaposition between childlike musing at notional rainbows and world weariness, Tint occupies the space between wishes and being betrayed by reality on topics including personal identity, social justice, family, love, reflection, genocide, diaspora and Palestine. The collection features Diaspora and Oil which were selected to form part of the 2025 Poems From The Washing Lines art installation and poetry performance live event bringing together 'winning poets from around the world to share personal stories, cultural memory, and poetic expression.'
