Basudhara Roy

because poetry matters
because there is some in you and me

because the sky that holds our gaze

and the earth that steadies our feet

are largely poetry we are here

looking for substances in shadows

in bones for young unruffled air

 

- Basudhara Roy, 'Because'

'Stitching a Home' is a volume to be read by the fireside in winter. The poet tells us 'places have soul too' and 'you have to let them settle'.
