The Ammuchi Puchi

Sharanya Manivannan

A Sri Lankan mermaid laments the Arthurian Fisher King; a woman treks to a cliff in the Nilgiris with honey gatherers of the Irula tribe; a painter fears she will lose her sanity if she leaves her marriage and lose her art if she stays faithful within it; one woman marries her goddess; another, sitting in a bar, says to herself, I like my fights dirty, my vodka neat and my romance anachronistic. The women in this collection are choice makers, consequence facers, solitude seekers. They are lovers, vixens, wives to themselves. And their stories are just how that woman in the bar likes it dirty, neat, and sexy as smoke.

The High Priestess Never Marries: Stories of Love and Consequence

HarperCollins India

<p>Sharanya s poems are, in her own phrase, a form of phosphorescence glowing in darkness, simmering with wonder, mythic in resonance, boldly embodied, hence surprisingly spiritful, even spiritual in the finest sense of the word. They are also skeptical and reflective, tempering and enhancing the glowing flame. Riptides of Tamil hide beneath or within her honed English, for those who can hear and see. - David Shulman. Sita in a forest, loved and left behind, looks towards the night sky and sees Lucifer s fall from grace. Inanna enters the underworld, holding her heart before her like a torch. It is not easy to bear the weight of light; wilderness takes time to turn into sanctuary. These are poems of exile, resurrection, impossible love, lasting redemption and above all else, the many meanings of grace.</p>
