Stout and Tender is Badri Raina’s third (and largest) anthology of poems in which the academic-poet, while musing and introspective, feels compelled to engage with glaring contemporary brutalities, anguish, sad and reviling ironies, the slow, stabbing death of humanism, and societal change inflicted by the digital age.

Iridescence – A collection of shorts is about exploring yearning, pus, mucus, longing, reign and ruin. They include the world, people, situations and even objects that we encounter every day. They may compel, in fits and starts, to discover who we are collectively and what we care most about. Darkness shares its naive heart with our own inner child, the potent muse of all. We humans are all waves of one sea and leaves of one tree. Meeting our shadow side, it takes no wizardry to realise even in light some shadows get shorter and others longer.
