New Delhi, April 23 : Clouds peck on vapour in the noonday sun/A day will come when rocks will/disappear/I want to save some rock/seeds against that time/If mountains moved, theyd take a/thousand years for each step/The step/would be no bigger for a mountain than/a step for an ant.
From the pen of one of the gentlest, most profound writers of our times comes A Silent Place by Vinod Kumar Shukla, translated from the Hindi by Satti Khanna (Eka), novel about a forest that has been stunned into silence by grief.
