Modern poems fusing a British and South Asian heritage.

Autumn
.
At the dizzy end of Fall
Disoriented. Winter coat, summer shoes
Leaves wet in heavy piles, the smell
Your shawls retrieved from plastic
Memories preserved in aspic
Quiet streets, the afternoon
Early Christmas lights, cloudless skies
I finger spines of all the books I will not give
Wind whispers in the branches, who and who?
Did you leave her? Did she leave you?

Poem From Sold and Bartered
Written By Ruswa Fatehpuri

Book By Ruswa Fatehpuri
.
Sold and Bartered: The Poems of Ruswa Fatehpuri 1991 to 2013. Selected from over twenty years of writing and drawn from the literary traditions of both Britain and India, these poems cover formative experiences with a combination of warm wistfulness and unforgiving insight. Ruswa takes us from the yearning for fatherhood in A Sowing of Seeds and Santa Sophia, to the joys of fatherhood in Monsoon. He reflects on loss in all its many forms: the loss of loved ones, hope and faith; all interspersed with moments of romance and humour.

His poems have been published in The First Line, The London Reader, Psalms of the Alien Buddha and Beautiful Tragedies, among other venues. You can find him on Instagram @ruswafatehpuri
