Dear all,

My book, 'We Called the River Red: Poetry from a Violent Homeland' will be published this month by Authors Press, Delhi. The book tries to portray how in times of political turbulence and social upheavals, the individual must understand that love and the agony of personal loss are not independent of the larger social, historical and political milieu. The poet's sense of responsibility -- towards her identity, community and nation -- is reflected in this collection. Leading up to the point where the personal entity is increasingly fused with the political identity, it ends with a prayer for peace in times of political conflicts and social turmoil plaguing the violent homeland.

I am a poet, researcher and media consultant, as well as Assamese literature editor of Muse India, a literary e-journal. I have been addressing issues of ethnicity, nationalism, migration, displacement, conflicts and reconciliation in Northeast India through my writings. I blog at www.jajabori-mon.blogspot.com.

You can check out details about the book and reactions to it at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=329111025353&ref=nf
