Exploring the interplay between body, language, and voice, the poems reflect the author's journey with motor neurone disease. They oscillate between sardonic resignation and defiance, employing diverse forms to connect the living with the dead and intertwine the ordinary with the extraordinary. The influence of the author's background as an Indologist and Sanskrit translator subtly resonates throughout, adding depth to the reflections on identity and transformation.
