With great skill she uncovers, sometimes tenderly and other times more forcefully, the shroud of fog surrounding the feminine archetype... she has created and nurtured a garden, a wordscape, in which trust and healing can flourish."br--Nick Purdon, author of The Road-shaped Heart brbr"Sweta Srivastava Vikram holds her work close. Fold it one way, a poem of loss appears. Fold it yet again for a poem of longing. Her work is as structurally sound as the elements. It soars with anticipation. Vikram reveals lovely and powerful poems that will long linger." br--Doug Mathewson, Editor Blink-Ink brbrLearn more at www.SwetaVikram.combrbrFrom the World Voices Series at Modern History Press www.ModernHistoryPress.combrbrPOE005060 Poetry : American - Asian AmericanbrSOC028000 Social Science : Womens Studies - GeneralbrSOC010000 Social Science : Feminism & Feminist Theorybr
