On the occasion of National Poetry Month 2026, poet Vidya Shankar and I bring to you, our book which has been almost two years in the making: Light and Line Drawings!

This book is a dual-voice poetry collection exploring lives on completely different continents. Light and Line Drawings is a dialog between two poets who, in a testament to current times, are friends despite having met in person just once. Dealing with three broad themes of Nature, life, and relationships, the poems in this book flow like conversations, questioning and echoing each other’s perspectives. Through their journeys, both poets share poetic exchanges in contemporary thought. For the reader, this often creates a space for introspection.
