Author Description

This is a language with its own logic and magic. In some lines, it feels as if the theme invented its own language. Rajorshi voices the consuming passion of Osiris for Isis, and the sky gossips about their romance. — Mani Rao Interestingly, Rajorshi speaks on Osiris’s behalf, expressing his fondness and wonderment for Isis. Although imperceptible, the poet’s fascinating alliance with Osiris makes these prose poems even more compelling. — Kiriti Sengupta “My love is a rainbow, painted in translucence” — writes Rajorshi Patranabis, and it is the myriad colours of love and devotion his passionate prose poems unfold as he dives into the world of Osiris and Isis from Egyptian lore. As a practising Wiccan, you find wisps of his prayers — Tua Anset — giving his narrative a mysterious, mystical touch, gently titillating the parts of our psyches we hesitate to explore, slowly peeling away the facade of what societal norms dictate. Love and death co-exist in his universe, frightening and yet seductive. — Mitali Chakravarty As the immortal Lord of the Dark World, Osiris, speaks to his beloved, the Moon Goddess Isis, we traverse enchanting dimensions of ethereality. This is where the lover's garden smells of dark red roses, winter enters with bare feet, and promises are made to bleed in summer. These prose poems will mesmerise you with the power of Wiccan chants. Even as seasons melt into one another and colours blend into a bewitching perfumery, we are left with a prayer: Tua Anset — You’re the Isis I know.
