It's nice to know Meena Kandasamy has found a rather interesting name for the anthology that's going to have my poem among several others. (http://meenu.wordpress.com/2008/07/26/i-finally-found-a-title/#comment-3013) The name is such a one that has been hanging right on the tip of our tongues, it's that simple. Yet, I like it for its beauty and resonance. Also, for a English language poetry collection, this Hindi/Urdu title is very meaningful, full of zing and all that romanticism one can attach with the notion of CITY.

Here you go:

"SHEHER

Urban Poetry by Indian Women"

The photograph here is the working cover. The final cover should be uploaded soon for all of us to see.
