"This book of verse-like fragments revisits the past through a myopic lens of deeply personal experiences, where the poet steps out of his comfort zone and tries on the shoes of the others — summoning lives from myths, histories and imagination, swapping experiences. Dibyajyoti Sarma looks for his origins in incantatory mythologies. His remembrances are searching, his voice engaging. In sourcing his roots, Sarma appropriates the very elements. This is a poet ever on the lookout to subvert his material. A dangerous writer."
