Publisher’s Synopsis<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This is an epic poem about love and loss and love regained, about life and death and death regained, that knows no end. It was written with deft touches and deep feeling by Suparna Ghosh who has included, as well, her drawings and painting. Dots and Crosses<\/em> has a cyclic quality or dimension rare in contemporary art that leaves the reader and viewer with the sense that he or she has either read the words before or experienced the moods, feelings and situations they dramatize.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
