- Here is a book where a love of language doesn't turn into mere technique, where craft doesn't degenerate into mere cleverness, where self-awareness doesn't slide into mere self-consciousness. Nikita Parik's poems map cities and bodies, journeying past exoskeleton to hushed interior, leaving a welter of poignant images in their wake-an itr-seller 'with old eyes', a mouth that is 'an Indian balcony during the months of saawan and bhaado', a city that becomes 'a stinking hilsa' in a passenger's tote bag. Warmly intelligent and tenderly alive, this is a book that holds many 'promises'-and not just in the 'future tense'. - Arundhathi Subramaniam
- Nikita Parik holds a Master's in Linguistics, a three-year diploma in French, and another Master's in English.
