Description
The poems in this collection were written in and about three continents. They attempt to address the question of belonging versus the universality of experience. Writing in vey spare language and using metaphors drawn from both Western and Eastern sources, Chatterjee pares down the complexity of existence in today's global reality into simple moments of truth.
