[he is here]
[his voice is here]
[the soft stir at night]
आप गुज़र गए पर ऐसी बुनियाद छोड़ गएसैलाब-ए-रात पे बहती हुई सदा आपकी सुनाई देती है।

BULBUL CALLING shimmers with heat, memory and longing, and with fragmentary echoes of birdsong. Accompanied by illustrations by Pratyusha's grandmother, these poems and texts dwell in tremors, fissures, and dreamlike heatwaves. Shifting between Tamil, Hindi, German and English, BULBUL CALLING is a convergence of languages, heritages, and deep personal and ecological loss.
PRATYUSHA is an Indo-Swiss poet and co-editor of the online literary journal amberflora. Her debut pamphlet Night Waters was published by Zarf Editions in 2018.
