A Story and a Song

By Meenakshi Yarlagadda

Book Overview

A Story and a Song by Meenakshi Yarlagadda is brimming with vibrant imagery and engaging tales that could sweep anyone away into a new world. In her debut collection, each poem ferries the reader to a new landscape and allows them to transform into an eclectic range of intricately compelling characters. In one poem you may be a young girl listening to your father spin "a tale of wrong and right / and ancient classics awoken," while in another you're an elderly man sitting beneath a tree considering "all the dreams he'd forgotten and could not pursue."

Combining autobiographical moments with imagined tales, Yarlagadda creates the perfect blend of whimsy and contemplation. No matter where her work brings you, you'll find yourself wanting to stay a while to take in a landscape of stark emotion, colorful metaphor, and attentive speculation.
