The Kali Project by Indie Blue Publishing, 15th National Indie Excellence Book Awards (NIEA) - Finalist, was conceptualized by Megha Sood and Candice Louisa. It is born from a deep appreciation for Indian women authors and seeks to introduce to the Western readers those talents within India who speak with the same fierce voice and share the same goal of equality and an end to oppression.

It's truly an honor to be featured in this ambitious international poetry anthology alongside some of the finest contemporary Indian women poets—my heartfelt gratitude to the fiercely feminist team of "The Kali Project" for including my voice. The breathtakingly beautiful book cover has been designed by Mitch Green. 

The anthology features 123 powerful voices worldwide living with invisible chronic illnesses— voices often stigmatized, ignored, or isolated by society.

I'm immensely thankful to the editors, Christine Elizabeth, Candice Louisa Daquin, and Kindra M. Austin for including my voice in this fierce, moving, raw, and often stunning anthology.The book cover has been designed by talented Henna Johansdotter Sjöblom.

The Well-Earned is the brainchild of the Kiriti Sengupta, Rabindranath Tagore Literary Prize (2018) awardee and the co-founder of Hawakal Prokashana. The Well-Earned showcases 65 poets of Indian origin who explore their perceptions of freedom.

I’m extremely grateful and humbled to be sharing space alongside eminent poets who I look up to and aspire to be like in this offbeat anthology: Kala Ramesh, Rochelle Potkar, Nabina Das, Sukrita Paul Kumar, Anu Majumdar, Taseer Gujral, Vinita Agrawal and more.

Thank you, Hawakal Prokashana for the impeccable work you do and truly being the “flag-bearers of verse” in the Indian subcontinent.

The Well-Earned is an outstanding work of art. Folks, get your copy now.
