Life Lines is Shahilla
Shariff's first collection of poetry. Drawing on her life experiences, it
explores themes of love, grief, dislocation and transition. Her work addresses
the vast and unruly dimensions of loss – loss of home, of time, of people, of
self – and probes the raw and uncertain trajectory of mourning along with the
complex interplay of memory, faith and fate. The poems span continents,
generations and cultures, exposing the collisions and contradictions of East
and West which underlie her own personal narrative.
Shahilla
Shariff was born in Kenya and
is Canadian. A fourth-generation East African, she spent her early childhood in
a multi-generational Indian-Muslim household in Dar-es-Salaam. Her family later
emigrated to Canada. She was educated at Harvard College,Harvard Law School and
Cambridge University, where she was a Commonwealth Scholar. She has been a
practising corporate lawyer for over twenty years. She has lived in Hong Kong
since 1993.
