The Memory Of The Dustwhistler: Poems - Paperback

by Nishith Singh (Author)

Fifty-three poems scheme in a book. A poem relentlessly plows our glaciers of solitude and love, our seas of loss and nostalgia. There is a poem for the frozen city in your heart. One for the easy prairies. A poem for the tales of their lonely afternoons you hear. A poem for the enigmas of love you bear. A poem for our living experience that is the labyrinth of illusions thrown around us. And a poem for life that makes itself known to those listening patiently to the summer earth whistling under the rain.

Author Biography

Nishith Singh was born and raised in a small town in the Indian sub-continent, Bhilai Nagar, where the soil is blood-red. He trained as a physician at the Calcutta University before moving to America for further training as a cancer physician. Nishith is passionate about writing. He believes that beauty and wonder are accessible in the most momentary gazes of everyday individuals given to kindness. The Memory Of The Dustwhistler is his first collection of poems. Nishith is currently working on a collection of short stories, a fictional novel about four generations of a family living a memory-like reality set in colonial India, and a tale of love set in the teeming Victorian nostalgia that is Calcutta.
