Indian Rope Trick

By Prartho Sereno

Winner of the 2018 Blue Light Book Award

Prartho Sereno is author of three previous poetry collections, including Elephant Raga, Call from Paris, and Causing a Stir: The Secret Lives & Loves of Kitchen Utensils (illustrated by the author). She served as Poet Laureate of Marin County, California, 2015--2017, has an MFA in Creative Writing from Syracuse University and was awarded a Radio Disney Super Teacher Award for her 19-years' work as a California Poet in the Schools.

Prartho's poems are informed by many years living in a meditation community in India, but she also credits excursions into other "art forms: " counseling psychologist, mother of two, vegetarian cook, meditation instructor at Cornell University, book illustrator, and amateur singer-songwriter. Her life's ambition is to be a tour guide of the as-yet-unimagined, a tender of life's creative fires.

She lives a little north of the Golden Gate Bridge with a sweet man who takes her rowing on the bay.
