New Arts

<p><em>New Arts </em>by Nisha Bhakoo is a taut haunting collection of poems that navigates grief memory and survival with stark lyricism. Divided into two parts 'The Art of Dying' and 'Dark Arts' the collection moves from intimate scenes of mourning and fractured daily life to explorations of transformation and otherworldliness. Bhakoo's language is tactile and unsparing intertwining the corporeal and the spectral to expose the undercurrents of loss longing and resilience. The poems often collapse temporal and emotional boundaries offering a vision of life where the dead and the living the mundane and the mystical continually brush against one another.</p>
