Mużajk - An exploration in multilingual verse

Mużajk is an exploration in multilingual verse, an attempt to braid together the sounds and cadences of different tongues into a single rhythm and a single thought.

Written in a blend of English, French, Italian, Maltese and Spanish, but occasionally sowing in other languages according to the subject, the mużajki or mosaics journey through a variety of themes, among them the pleasure and futility of living, love unrequited or fulfilled, the beauty of the Mediterranean, the desire for simplicity in an ever-increasingly complicated lifestyle, the absurdity of colonialism and its after-effects, and the at once exhilarating and disorienting feeling of variety itself.
