Pressed Between Palms: A Haiku Sojourn Through Southern Sri Lanka is a collection that considers the entanglement of travel, memory, belonging, and postcolonial inheritance through the precision of haiku. Part travelogue, part memoir, Adele Evershed weaves moments of humor, grief, and cultural encounter as she leads readers from temples to tea plantations, from wildlife reserves to war memorials. The haiku are snapshots — a verbal holiday album — exploring the delicate balance between looking and choosing to see. It will take the reader on a journey and challenge them to think about what it means to witness and to be witnessed — to carry stories, both inherited and newly made, across borders and back again.
