Short Story
Deepening light, 94F
Beans and cassava, fruit and plantain
Gari and egusi, corn and sugarcane
Run through the grass, by the trees with kola nuts
Cross the farms, through the fields, past the village chief's huts
We're standing at the edge of an overgrown clearing. It has come along quite suddenly after a half hour's walk in the blinding light. A wild banana tree and some old mango trees list towards the sun.

Letter from Stockholm
Astrid Lindgren and the Inner Child
Was it really twenty years ago? It seems so remote now. We were growing up in the heart of a Dhaka that was yet to be gorged by the huge apartments. Our community lived like an extended family.

Book Review
A Tale of Love and War
Every reading is a political construct. In modern times, human behavior takes place in the more tangible dynamics of national politics and history.

Trash Bags
City sidewalk,
pressed into perfect squares
of four by four.
I see big black lumpy beetles
rustling as the wind blows
and their wings caress each other.
