heir of sisyphus

<p><em>heir of sisyphus</em> is a collection that travels between different cities cultures and languages. Adrija Ghosh's poetry is existential in nature often echoing Lacan who proposes that often we look away from those who love us because they often hold up a mirror to what we might be lacking. This is a book about healing matrilineage and sexuality in our uncertain times. It wants to say that yes the world is cruel but sometimes we have to admire its claws instead of crocheting its mittens. A sense of travel and displacement runs through all of the poems but the recurring questions are about the distance travelled - about where the 'to and from' are located.</p>
