This collection of senryu endeavors to unfold the vast landscape of human life - the intricate tapestry of our shared existence, its humor, its longings, its aches, its faith, and its resilience. From the magical days of first love to the heartbreaking nights after loss, from the depths of self-doubts to the heights of self-discovery, from the stolen moments of guilty pleasure to asserting our place in the world, from our private moments of retrospection to the collective rage at war, each poem is an attempt to capture what it means to be human.
I do not intend to preach or seek resolution. I only hope that in these pages, you meet yourself - dazzling, vulnerable, tenacious, flawed, complex and delightfully contradictory. If somewhere in these pages you smile with a remembered happiness, hear an echo of your grief, regret the words left unsaid, long and hope for a better world, know in your heart that this is what makes us unmistakenly human.
We are in this together.
-Vandana Parashar, from the IntroductionAlso in
