Nishi Chawla's eighth collection of poems, 'Indigenized / Tribalized' gives voice to the struggles and resilience of Indigenous communities around the world. In Indigenized / Tribalized, Nishi Chawla crafts poems that move between myth and memory, exile and belonging. Her free verse resonates with lyrical force, weaving lament and invocation into a chorus of resilience. With unflinching clarity and deep compassion, Chawla affirms the endurance of Indigenous spirit. This collection is not only a moral call to witness, but a testament to how poetry itself becomes a vessel of continuity and resistance. Amir Or, internationally acclaimed Israeli poet and translator "An incandescent homage to the indigenous struggle for survival, growth and concordance within a troubled contemporary world, all the while preserving that which is fundamental to the vitality of their own rich cultures." Les Wicks, Australian Poet and Editor "The poems in Nishi Chawla's latest collection, 'Indigenized / Tribalized, ' are deeply resonant mantric invocations of the First People everywhere. Her lyrically expressed empathy for the original (Adivasi or original) inhabitants of our earth-household, is irresistible.....her poems prophesy the return of their philosophical modes of living. In the "silence between the leaf and rain" she finds resilience, hidden in the flow of rivers she is sure lie repositories of stories, and the rough tree bark, she insists, still has markings of alphabets waiting to be read. Alok Bhalla, Indian Academic and Writer
