Nikita Parik's poems map cities and bodies, journeying past exoskeleton to hushed interior, leaving a welter of poignant images in their wake-an itr-seller 'with old eyes', a mouth that is 'an Indian balcony during the months of \u003ci\u003esaawan\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ebhaado\u003c\/i\u003e', a city that becomes 'a stinking \u003ci\u003ehilsa\u003c\/i\u003e' in a passenger's tote bag. Warmly intelligent and tenderly alive, this is a book that holds many 'promises'-and not just in the 'future tense'. - \u003cb\u003eArundhathi Subramaniam\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNikita Parik\u003c\/b\u003e holds a Master's in Linguistics, a three-year diploma in French, and another Master's in English. \u003ci\u003eDiacritics o\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ef Desire\u003c\/i\u003e (2019) is her debut book of poems, followed by \u003ci\u003eAmour and Apocalypse\u003c\/i\u003e (2020), a novel in translation.
