@rohancht @redriverpress Thanks, Rohan. Hope you’ll get a copy once the book is finally out.

Here's Mahesh Verma, as I prepare the final MS of PERENNIAL (forthcoming @redriverpress). Prose poems are rare in Hindi, so a good meta-prose poem on "translation" is a thing of beauty. All the remaining poems have been translated by Kabir Deb. Always welcome critical feedback.
