Van, Meaning Forest (a poem) OR Pro Bono, On The Whole

By V. Shruti Devi (quill-o-the-wisp)

van halen's gone

some don

van heusen's mask

a wolfgang's forlorn

a hay mushroom basks

busking in subways

we travesrse the stars

plexi shield towers

held

to nano-parts

as they're dancin and shakin

we're playing with our hearts

and other organs

the present continuous

all set

to tune

into the runes

our devices!

Balcony Book Event

By V. Shruti Devi (quill-o-the-wisp)

Hi!

This is to share with you, Youtube links to a ten-part reading of my novel, Deep Wood Trance.

I read out the book, interspersed with bits of conversation, to a Live Facebook Audience during India's ongoing 21-day Corona Virus lockdown, and through the Easter Weekend.

These are free to access, do share the readings with others, and it would be great if you could help get this across as an entertainment-resource to those who are visually impaired as well, thanks!

(p.s. note added on 29th April, 2020: the final video has temporarily been removed, in order to edit out ambient sights and sounds).

Echoes, Patterns

By V. Shruti Devi (quill-o-the-wisp)

demonic laughter

from a LAF corridor

essential services

public purposes

well met

I think not

spaceweather

gammarays

corona

expressways

a comet

a nebula

a web of connectivity

interstate consciousness

Dimensions

Ascensions

recede, secede, rollback

an upward spiral

a rail-way track

Goodbye, Sam, Hello NY!
