Kavita A. Jindal reviews ‘Ma Is Scared’ by Anjali Kajal, translated by Kavita Bhanot (Comma Press, 2023) for Asian Review of Books https://asianreviewofbooks.com/content/ma-is-scared-by-anjali-kajal/ of bodies / of light / of weightlessness Khadija Rouf reviews Antonyms for Burial by Ellora Sutton (Fourteen Poems, 2022) for The Friday Poem https://thefridaypoem.com/antonyms-for-burial/ ![]() We're delighted to announce that our third anthology 'Tongues and Bellies' has been published! These stories play with lies and truth. Chameleon-like characters clutch at worlds that remain just out of reach. An old recipe, a robot, a key – these are clues to the people they once were or hope to be. Appetite and eating are often central in this collection as characters remember childhood meals, a mother’s cooking, meals with lovers and meals that turn out not as expected. Their appetite for food, as for life, is by turns bitter and sweet but never predictable. ‘Rich, incisive and at times magical, this is a collection to be savoured and cherished. A joy from start to finish.’ – Awais Khan, author of No Honour 'Tongues and Bellies' can be purchased at Linen Press.
