This book of poetry and short fiction is embedded with historical facts. “I tend to render James Joyce's (1882-1941) 'stream of consciousness' form of narrative into a rather pragmatic dramatization, reflective of the mundane manner in which some of us silently address ourselves.”Jayshree Misra Tripathi calls upon stories, both shared and lived, including her own three decades outside the homeland. She weaves struggles - feelings of desolation and hope, in a distinctive blend of poetry and prose, to strike upon the transience of life itself. First published by Quills Ink (India) in 2014.
