Last week got a bit away from me (mostly filled with a whole lot of nothing), which threw off my compilation. To keep my Wednesday habit alive and give you a quick read today, here is a round-up of the media I’ve been consuming since we last caught up.

When next we meet in your inbox, I will be writing to you from the quiet lap of the Dhauladhars.

Until then, may you be gentle with yourself and stay well.

April was a whirlwind. For those who followed along, I took on the NaPoWriMo challenge—writing a poem every single day. It was a journey through the quiet corners of my balcony and the longings of the heart.

While I shared snippets here and there, I wanted to create something permanent for the people who support this newsletter.

I’ve gathered 20 of these poems and tucked them into a digital chapbook, formatted specifically for you to read at your own pace.

Thank you for being part of this flow. Your presence here is what keeps the “Mermaid’s Pen” moving.

With gratitude,
