The poet, Nikhil Parekh, takes the view that in the current world scenario—disastrously fraught with terrorism, war, prejudice, unemployment of various kinds—if you want to help others, you must first help yourself.

refrain

Books by Jason S Polley

refrain recounts the author's travels in India as an inexperienced and sensitive young man. The narrative shows wit, intelligence and a facility with words. The style is experimental and literary; and the fascination of the stories told – short stories in verse presenting the anxieties and misfortunes typical of shoestring traveling, and the culture-shock deriving from visiting a very different culture from ones own – carries the careful rea

Immortelle and Bhandaaraa Poems

Books by Lelawattee Manoo-rahming

Inspired by the Hindu philosophy of reincarnation, many of the poems  are written in memory of loved ones.

Books by Deepa Vanjani

The Natural Language of Grief

Books by Vinita Agrawal

The Natural Language of Grief is in essence, crepuscular: looking at dimness. In this collection of poems, language looks intentionally at the dimness of the pandemic era, the twilight faced by planet earth in the face of the raging climate crisis and the regular existential questions that we grapple with on a daily basis. The Natural Language of Grief seeks, also, to be a conduit of hope and a better tomorrow; a visage of the poet’s experi
