Newsletter #11

Dear Bibliophile, The human body is an amazing entity. It’s autonomous in it’s actions, like moving limbs and blinking of eyes, conscious and unconscious but still autonomous. Yet it’s laid claim to by so many. Our family, friends and workplace all lay claim to our body language and we are constantly trying to shrink or […]

Newsletter 10

Dear Bibliophile, I went to a university lecture recently, on the ambiguous supernaturality in poetry by Irish poets. The topic, in all its gloriousness was utterly exhilarating until a member of the audience latched on to the word ambiguous. The elderly white man exclaimed, ‘Can it not be that the poets were simply lazy?’ The […]

Dear Bibliophile, There was a snowstorm yesterday in Dublin. Unseasonable. And you realise, how quickly the soft and white turns into hard and slippery. As I worked from home, it was a day of wonder to watch snow transform in the light. Melting into grey ice before turning to water. Snow. No idea why cocaine […]

Dear Bibliophile, Hope you’re doing well, storing chestnuts, and preparing for the winter. It’s been a long time since I wrote a newsletter, and I deeply apologise for this lapse. Sometimes, I lose sight of important things, and this was one such instance. Although I didn’t stop writing creatively, I stopped writing otherwise. As in […]

Newsletter #3

Dear Bibliophile, As we welcome spring, one can’t help ponder about regeneration and the cycle of life. While writing this newsletter, I kept thinking about the cycle of knowledge – how we found it, lost it and then regained it. Is knowledge coded in our genetic memory? Can we access what our ancestors have known […]
