"There is another yearning at work in #Boong, for a world ruled by simplicity, diversity and humour. Seen from a knee-high perspective, the complexities of a conflict-ridden zone magically appears to be navigable," Nandini Ramnath reviews.

First the scientists find a dead butterfly in the vivarium tank, they say,

then they lay the damaged one on an operation table, by using

contact cement, they attach
the wing of the dead to the damaged,

with this transplanted wing, the butterfly can migrate to a warless country now.

Wing transplant

Not every amputated thing
grows back whole, not bone, not tree limb

not the torn wing of an endangered butterfly. This is the story children tell

in the tents, around candlelight after the bombardments cut their world.

In Pune’s Skies, Parrots are a Sign of How Caste Shapes Cities The historical allocation of land and who inherits it dictates why some neighbourhoods have birds, tree-lined avenues and far better civic amenities.

The painting "Night in the Steppe" shows a vast plain under a bright full moon, the light being distributed over the landscape and the water in an almost magical way.

The painting "Night in the Steppe" shows a vast plain under a bright full moon, the light being distributed over the landscape and the water in an almost magical way.

This work is made by the renowned Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, who invented the unique painting style called "plyontanism" (from the Ukrainian word plyontaty, meaning "to braid"). This technique consists of hundreds of fine, intertwined lines that create depth and an almost textile-like texture.

Hi friends help us get more eyeballs. Maybe tag a friend who might enjoy this anthology!

(One of my stories got selected for this, and I'm very excited to read the work by my fellow writers and poets)
