Editor : Dr. Tripti Tyagi

Dr. Tripti is an Assistant Professor at the Department of English, Faculty of Media Studies and Humanities, Manav Rachna International Institute of Research and Studies. She has a Ph.D. in Comparative Studies in English from the University of Delhi and has published over 16 research papers in National and International Journals. Her areas of interest are Comparative Literature, Anglo Indian Writings, Literary Theory and Criticism, and Indian Histories and Literature. In her book Organic, Dr. Tripti introduces the concept of ‘WON’ as a new term for woman, indicating that a woman can gain victory even in the absence of man's authority. She omits the letters ‘M’ and ‘A’ from the word ‘WOMAN’ to recreate it as ‘WON’ in her poem ‘I am a Won, not a Woman’. In the preface to Organic, she also coins two terms ‘hyper free verse’ and ‘hypo free verse’ for different forms of poetry. ‘Hyper free verse’ goes beyond the word limit in a line, while ‘Hypo free verse’ uses a limited diction in adhering to the fact that verse cannot be hailed as prose. In her book Cotyledons, Dr. Tripti introduces the concept of ‘Stheory’ where short stories can generate new ideas, theories or analysis. She also introduces the term men as 'Age Selective’ for men who long to marry only younger women, rejecting those elder to them. ‘Proposal Hierarchy’ is another term where men more often get the privilege to propose women, with women waiting for men to propose them. Dr. Tripti’s writings present new ideas and evaluate and criticize older concepts and theories. She challenges societal norms and patriarchy, introducing new terminology that addresses issues that have long been ignored. Her work is thought-provoking and invites readers to think beyond the established norms and explore new perspectives.
