'Images and emotions are woven beautifully - and sometimes startlingly - in these poems that rise from the depths of the heart.' - Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni

'Beneath tide-pools, squid-spew and moon-slick water, these poems usher us into those places where nothing is as it seems. And yet, there is the pervasive magic of the everyday, where women in trainers may turn into antelopes, where sated cats know that fish are real things, and where a single glance at a tree can turn an entire world into 'leaves'. Prerna Gill's poems make their home in the gaps that can only be forded by image - between movie tickets and calcified stars, breakfast and meltwater, femur and sky. A restrained, assured and gently luminous collection.' - Arundhathi Subramaniam

'This is a book of thoughtful poems about highly human figures framed against something else, something vaster: headlights, tarmac, sky, sea, distance, time. It is a collection to be read slowly and savoured.' - Tabish Khair

'Gems both dark and bright, these are poems that will speak to everyone, because they balance the heart and mind between their lines. The effect is magical.' - Dharmendra Deol

'Prerna Gill's poetry is personal and honest. She is successful in reconciling her urban upbringing with her ancestral roots that requires both vulnerability and courage.' - Shabana Azmi

'Prerna Gill's poems allow you to peer at conflicting emotions. Jagged outlines filled with lyrical beauty.' - Twinkle Khanna
