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

Praise for Stitching a Home

KEKI N DARUWALLA
'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'.
