Grains of Stardust. The book, published by Penguin Random House India, will hit the stands on Valentine’s Day — February 14. It is a collection of her painting and poetry, encompassing ideas of love, art and creativity. “Grains of Stardust‘ came together unexpectedly. I didn’t sit down with the intention to write a poetry book. As you’ll see when you read them, they are very simply written. They are poems that I sometimes typed out on my phone waiting for the subway or while I was listening to a beat that I liked, or words that came to me when I was looking at a painting or at nature,” Vismaya, an artist whose interests lie in the realms of fine art, poetry and performance. “I wrote a lot of them when I was younger and it was only when I looked through some old sketchbooks that I got the idea from my brother to put some of them together and make a little artsy book,” she added. The book’s foreword is written by her actor father Mohanlal. “Offering a unique expression of thought reflecting feeling more than meaning, Grains of Stardust is a synesthetic stream of consciousness that does not distinguish between journey and destination, but meanders unchecked upon the river of human emotion,” writes the 60-year-old actor.   Source: The Indian Express ]]> en Thu, 02 11, 2021 07:43 am Grains of Stardust.
