Grace has been taking Colombo by a storm, you see her in the newspapers and Sri Lanka's prominent society magazines and social media. And here she is yet again, getting us excited and enthused by the launch of her new book! 

Closure is a collection of poetry and prose which is also shortlisted for the Gratiaen Prize. If you love all things poetry and words that are relatable and bring new perspective and meaning to your life, Grace will inspire you with her poetic touch! I got the opportunity to ask her a few questions with regards to her book and don't forget to mark your calendars for her book launch this Sunday! 

Hi Grace, tell us a little about your new book. 

My new book is my second published collection of poetry and prose, and it is shortlisted this year for the Gratiaen Prize. It touches on the themes of love, domestic abuse, body confidence, human rights. 

What inspired you to come up with Closure at such a young age? 

Closure is an inspired collection by many personal and common experiences. I write what I know and what I see. I don't think age is the determining factor of my work but the depth of it. Closure is a raw cross section of society and a call for hope for those in need. 

Where can we find the book? 

It will be available at the launch. There are only limited copies so pre order via my Facebook page and you can pick it up from after the 31st July as well. I will be having copies with me when I go for my next open mic events and stay tuned for further details.
