Description

Sheri Vandermolen brings India into vibrant focus with her evocative imagery, rich narration, and sharp wit, inviting the reader to join her in an engaging exploration of the Indian subcontinent. The volume's forty-five poems and accompanying photographs span experiences as commonplace as trips to the local city market and as distinct as a visit to Allahabad for the 2013 Maha Kumbh Mela, considered the world's largest single-event gathering of humanity, with thirty million people in attendance on the most auspicious bathing day. Dynamic and nimble, Jasmine Fractals pivots through the jostling contrasts of urban India.
