The fifty-odd poems in this collection all reflect the different hues of life as well as different stages of growth of a person. The poems find themselves divided naturally into four sections: Green (birth), Yellow (disillusion), Purple (rebirth), and Red (self-realization). The irrepressible current of life, in its various manifestations, runs through them all.

New and collected poems by Kushal Poddar.

As the title suggests, The Inevitable Zero revolves around the zero (0). Is it merely a number? What else does the zero mean? The zero symbolizes nothingness as well as completeness. Much research has been done on its invention; but, we are yet to arrive at a conclusion as to who invented the zero. There has been much debate as to where the zero took birth. However, what do The Vedas say about it? Kaushik Acharya, author of the much acclaimed book, Mumuksha, has categorically documented the sources on the invention of the zero. Acharya, in this book, upholds The Vedas that bore several links and clues to the mysteries that surround the zero. The exploration will also enlighten the readers on how the people of the Vedic era found the nuances of self-realization through their tryst with the zero.

*Vipul's poems assist us to hear the sound of silence and the plenitude of emptiness pervading the whole space.* -- Ravi Ravindra

A collection of Bengali poems by Arnab Saha.

India has never been in such a situation before. Majoritarian brute force and mob violence are used to overthrow all legalities and provisions, enshrined in our Constitution, against not only the minorities but also against all marginalized peoples and States, including the Dalits and Tribals. The attacks against women and the queer people are on the increase. The country is on Clearance Sale to the big Corporates. Old slogans like "Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan" have been discarded by promptly dropping the Kisans (whose deaths go unsung) and unilaterally projecting the Jawans in the name of patriotism. These poems are born from this political slush growing messy and stinking with the passage of time. Make no mistake; they are political to the core even when they talk about love.

Diacritical marks, when attached to a letter, serve to change the sound value of that letter, and by logical extension, the word. With Diacritics of Desire, the intention was to create a meta-ish poetic collection, something which is in and of language; something which traverses the spectrum of varied emotions, sometimes with a linguistic looking-glass, be it the Semantics of Longing, or the more rooted emotions occupying the vowel-chasm between the soul and the soil. The result is this oddball word-mixture of nouns and pronouns in rustic mother tongues, the secret chanting of old magic practiced by grandmothers, the language of our relationship with our bodies, and the language of prayers and politics.

The hush that descended after reading Balconies of Time never left. And into that silent space a few more fugitive words escaped. The stoic poet at night reveals layers of personal passions, social insights and aesthetic delight. The softness pierces the heart and wrenches the gut at the same time with a twist that is both beautiful and damning. Here is a poet of "negative capability" who finds his voice in the adverse time-space.

Sketching the beauty of living and interpreting human struggles leads many to explore the middle path. The protagonists in most of the poems in "The Anatomy of Solitude" face the melancholy and deal with trauma, tears and travesty of loss. One can embrace solitude as the last refuse to enliven oneself. The poet offers life a new lease and heralds a new message to fight back all odds. Poems in this collection dawn a new social order altogether.

An autobiographical account of a homosexual (gay) person.

What happens when a primordial city with its stake of myth, folklore and tradition confronts an aggressively expanding modernity? Varanasi is a place where antiquity holds a mirror to modern India to reveal its real essence and longstanding values that refuse to wither with changing time. "Birdsongs of Love & Despair" includes eleven short stories that delve deep into the ethos that has made Varanasi so unique. And here they speak in the voices of common people coming from different spheres of life--the gardener, the maid, the retired person, the dead grandmother or a toy seller. These are voices belonging to the margin, to the anxious souls, who with their love and tender thoughts, do not know how to resist the invasion of looming loss the modern times have brought in.

Mumuksha is written after following the shadow of thoughts expressed by Kiriti Sengupta in his chapbook "Reflections on Salvation" published by Transcendent Zero Press in the United States of America in July, 2016. It is not an easy work to write small essays on some important issues taken from our life and tradition. Kaushik Acharya has done a commendable job in presenting the essays in simple yet beautiful Sanskrit language. Each and every essay is followed by moral teaching, which reminds us the stories of "Panchatantra" that projects a moral lesson contained in every story. A sincere attempt to include contemporary Indian English writing into Modern Sanskrit Literature.
