I have been ...Congratulations on the book, Rajani. I have been plugging away at trying to get a manuscript put together, myself, but oh my, it is a much bigger task than I had imagined when I began. I seem to go all out for a few weeks and then fall off for a time. It takes a lot to keep up the momentum when you are working at it alone, so I applaud your perseverance. I know that it takes a tremendous amount of commitment. <br /><br />I, wholeheartedly, agree with Sherry's comment. I, too, have long admired the shunning imagery in Rajani's, work - as the pieces that are showcased here, illustrate.<br /><br />A lovely share. Thank you so much, once again, for making this happen and for everything you do to contribute to our community of Poets, Sherry.

No-one writes quite like Rajani! Her poetry is deeply thoughtful, with surprising turns that then seem just right, as well as being full of the most beautiful language. Both paperback and Kindle are available from Amazon India, UK, and US. Here she is interviewed about the book at Poets United, with some sample poems.<br />(My timeline is 'Friends only', but I have a lot of friends!)Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-37123143971842272252019-06-24T18:21:21.818-04:002019-06-24T18:21:21.818-04:00Oh, thank you, Rajani, for announcing at the outse...Oh, thank you, Rajani, for announcing at the outset that your book is now available in Kindle. For many reasons I prefer ebooks these days, and it is now waiting for me in my Kindle library! I have been so looking forward to this book. It's lovely to get some insight, here, into what led to it and how you put it together. I do hope there will be more; meanwhile we're lucky to have your blogs. Thank you so much, Sherry, for this feature.Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.com
