Beautiful poem, Dheepa. I love the imagery and the metaphors. I also enjoyed the notion that your grandfather was such a mix of old and new with his hundreds of cassette tapes on which to hear his traditional Indian music. Lovely. (I would enjoy seein you cooking to thos Latin rhythms too....great image).
I so appreciate your reading my work and recommending my Substack to your friends, Mary! And thanks for your thoughts on this poem--yes, the ancient-modern push-pull was definitely an inspiration for it! Re: the cooking--I weren't dancing, I'd be weeping from boredom!
I love how your own voice rises and dips so expressively. This animation vibrantly honors him.
Oh, so lovely to hear from you, Eliza--appreciate your sweet words! It was fun to record it with waves in mind!
I love the idea of surfing on sound. Lovely poem.
So nice of you to read, Barbara! Thank you!
