A River Fights

Poems written in a handmade Rajasthani journal during a two month journey through India in 2016/17 with both abstract and experiential accounts of a camel trip deep into the Thar Desert, daydreams on short Indigo plane rides, a long night drive through Uttar Pradesh, finding a night canoe in the Kerala backwater, thoughts on scrolls of time under desert stars, the Pyramid of Exiled Poets, waking up in Bombay, and the art of being lost and found on the river of life with the one you love; woven together by drawings, paintings, and photographs by the writer as well as photographs by Nilaya Sabnis.
