MORE ABOUT KUMKUM MALHOTRA and BUY THE BOOK HERE: GATEHOUSE SHOP
Look how we disappear : from a family, from a life, from a story. In a small house in Nizamudin, Kumkum Malhotra prepares herself for the evening ahead. Outside, the children are playing in the yard. Her daughter Nunni with a dolly, her niece Madhu on the swing. Her son Ashish in the corner, hiding something with his gang. Then an accident calls Kumkum down. As she breaks the circle of boys, her carefully planned evening unravels and with it, her sense of self.In language whose very precision seems a structural edifice for Kumkum’s survival, Preti Taneja tells a familiar tale with startling freshness and an original, exacting style.
MORE ABOUT (O) and BUY THE BOOK HERE: ARC
Sophie Mayer's fourth published poetry collection, (O), is a bittersweet lovesong to zombies, tattoos, lovers and sisters, Katniss and Pussy Riot, Artemis and suffragists. In three parts - I DO, I UNDO, I REDO - the poet undoes herself and all around her in a cycle that takes her back to the start as it comes to an end. Spirited, politicised, contemporary and Classical, these poems bring a poetic voice to the women that have lived in the cracks of history. In her own words: "Nothing - and everything - is sacred in this new cosmogony, beginning again with O."
