Mapping Home - A Collection of Poems
MAPPING HOME takes readers on a poetic journey through the collaborative works of Savita Krishnamoorthy and her 17 year old son, Arjun Nagamangalam.
This love letter invites the reader to reflect on their journey(s) of memories, finding joy in unexpected places, love+loss, what Home means in all its complexities, and where it dwells in one; Inside/Outside or in the lacuna of the in-between?
Arjun's poems trace a trajectory of growth and insights spanning his life from 8 to 16 years, to "collect all the pieces of my life and map the journey I have taken thus far."
The heart of MAPPING HOME is slowing down to delight in the magic of life's quotidian moments; like the fragrance of a sweet dessert, the glory of a majestic mountain, the ethereal light of dawn, music from the piano that fills a home, family ties, and the aching beauty that nature gifts us, generously and consistently.
