A tale of separation over three centuries

A chapbook of poems on love written by Ritamvara Bhattacharya and Ra Sh. Love that is marred by distance and death, nevertheless surviving through Time.

"In this quirky chapbook, Ritamvara and Ra Sh play a jugalbandi on a template spanning circa to circa. Ritamvara, a very young poet with a nascent idea of love, and Ra Sh, an established poet whose themes on love have ranged from the classical to the downright anarchic, converge to showcase the timelessness of love.” - Nabina Das (Eminent poet. Author of collections Sanskarnama, Into the migrant city, Blue Vessel...)

"This tale of separation over three centuries encapsulates us and transforms us as a prism. The poetic exchanges between Ritamvara and Ra Sh travel through us like a shaft of light. Come, indulge, feel its colors and varied emotions beyond time and space.” - Dona Mayoora (Internationally well known Visual poet.)
