Iโm delighted to share that my forthcoming poetry collection, All Thatโs Left Behind, will be published on 5 June by @SimonSchusterIN.
A formally inventive collection of lush, image-driven poems where memory, desire, and geography collide.View quoted post on X
All Thatโs Left Behind is a collection of poems that traverses memory, displacement, queerness, love, and resistance. These poems inhabit the space between elegy and erasure, where rivers remember, cities burn, and the body becomes both archive and aftermath. A motherโs trench coat from 1983, a mango tree rooted in childhood, and a fatherโs black Bajaj scooter become charged emblems in a poetics of radical compression and startling imagery. Here, language is both refuge and rupture, where memory is rendered volatile yet enduring.
At once intimate and political, the collection meditates on what remains after love, departure, and naming, transforming silence into form and making erasure speak, cementing Aditya Tiwari (@aprilislush) as a distinctive contemporary voice in Indian poetry.
