Edouard J. Maunick interview, 1994 [Mauritius]:

It appears from your poems that wherever in the world your travels take you, you discover something of your native island.

Exile is fraught with a sense of loss, to make up for which some part of that which one encounters transforms itself into that which is missing. It is true that wherever I go I find scraps of my childhood, when everything was a source of wonder to me. My desire no longer to regard my island as a self-contained place, an outcast from the world, goes together with a desire, expressed through my verse, to bring my country closer to other countries.
