Sinopsis

About the Book

'EXPERIMENTAL AND INQUISITIVE, THESE ARE POEMS THAT DEMAND AN IMAGINATION WHERE "DRAVIDIAN" IS STRUCK OUT FOR "DARWINIAN" AND "WHALE" REPLACED BY "WHILE", TIME BECOMING SPACE LIKE IT DOES ON A CLOCKFACE.' -SUMANA ROY

In his latest poetry collection, Arjun Rajendran begins by resurrecting voices and stories from 18th-century Pondicherry: of a French ship that must change its flag to render itself invisible to the English fleet, of blind men contemplating a lunar eclipse or an unfortunate condemned to the absurdity of a second execution.

Then jumping across centuries, the other two sections in this book explore intimacy, travel, hauntings and generational angst.
