Indrani Perera is a Sri Lankan/German/Australian poet, creator of The Poets' Express e-mail newsletter, founder of The Pocketry Almanack print journal, host of the poetry podcast Pocketry Presents and maker of useful things. Indrani describes her poetry as narrative plainsong - poems that tell a story in plain language. She shares stories about being a writer and a mother and she has recently started to untangle the knots of her mixed race heritage. Indrani is obsessed with reading, researching, writing, editing, designing, printing, making, binding and collecting books. Secretly she has always wanted to be a famous actress and loves getting up on stage to perform her poetry at open mic nights.

pas de deux

Indrani Perera's remarkable second collection of poetry, pas de deux, is now available. Indrani invites you to come take her hand; to dance, spin and twirl with her words.

‘Indrani questions and observes herself and the world around her with humour, passion, and perspicacity.’ 

~ David Munro author of Wearing My Father’s Hat

 

'It is an intimate invitation to savour the music of our bodies in language and to be immersed in the dance of words.'

~ Emilie Collyer, poet and playwright

 

‘… pas de deux is a tour de force.’

~ Joan Fenney, journalist and editor of The Crow

Indrani lives on Wurrundjeri Country in Naarm (Melbourne, Australia)
and she acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land.
Sovereignty was never ceded and she pays the rent.
