DYING WITH A LITTLE PATIENCE: POEMS
“Abhijit Sarmah's Dying with a Little Patience transports us into a world of fine wit, opulence, and stark imageries. It opens up alternate worlds, democratic and egalitarian—spaces that question the existent social condition, create an alternate reality, and dare to undo the state of apathy and brutality that pervades our current scenario.” —Namrata Pathak, author of That’s How Mirai Eats a Pomegranate
Riverside Stories
Stories abound in Assam’s fields, ponds, rivers, forests, hills and cities. Most of its people wear each other’s clothes, eat each other’s food and speak each other’s languages. Diversity and amalgamation are the primarily identifiable elements of people from Assam. Yet, everyday patriarchy and politics of boundaries have resulted in so much confusion and conflict. Thankfully, we are witnessing emerging voices of people who experience life differently because of their own identities and locations and propose an inclusive space for us all. The women and transpeople who have contributed to Riverside Stories come from this diversity and bring their stories of multiple experiences from Assam to the world. This collection of fiction, non-fiction, poetry and visual stories, puts on record the experiences of the self, the very personal, within homes, in the environment, with politics, and with disappointments, desires, hopes and memories for a future. In putting together this anthology, it is our hope that we have complicated—more than it already is—the notion of whose and which stories can be told.

It also attempts to break the barriers of language and translate their notable works from different tongues across the Indian subcontinent to English, and serve it all onto a uniform platter.
