ABSTRACT

This chapter, a clutch of poems, is contributed by one of Douglas Davies’ first research students: he guided me in my investigation of ‘Sikh Tradition in Nottingham’ in 1979-1980. The poems, and preliminary reflection, are submitted as a gesture of support for Davies, the anthropologist-theologian, a transgressor of boundaries, and as a challenge to boundary-drawing more generally – especially against overly rigorous or unnoticed, and so unquestioned, boundary-drawing between one genre and another.
