Beyond the Moon

Beyond the Moon is an intimate collection of poetry about enormous stigma Otherness and marginality detailing with my personal experiences as a young woman living on the cusp of two very different worlds. As a young girl growing up in the United Kingdom. I was continually made aware of my ethnic differences. The conventional Western education made no allusion to the Mauritian Muslim; I found no commonplace no companionship with another in this world no one like me. <br>Even I deceived myself with the expectation to normalise and acclimatise to the Barbie doll model. I was taught that I was not beautiful because I did not resemble this traditional model. Thus this collection of poetry materialises and communicates such experiences exploring the 'dark side of the moon'.
