The epic poem, From the Ganga to the Tay is to be launched on Friday, 12 June at Roxy Art House, 2 Roxburgh Street Edinburgh, EH8 from 6.30 -8.30 p.m. as part of the Napier University Showcase event. In the poem, the two great rivers, the Ganges and the Tay, converse about a shared history. The book's India launch happened as part of the Scotland-Kolkata Connection at the Kolkata Book Fair when Scotland was the Theme Country, earlier this year. The Napier Showcase launch is the book's Scottish debut!
From the Ganga to the Tay meanders across the page mirroring the flow of a river, accompanied by evocative images by Scottish artist Kenny Munro and the author. This epic poem explores the ties between India and Scotland and thecontemporary relevance of the Ganges and the Tay, rivers that are natural symbols of continuity and peace.
From the Ganga to the Tay is published by Luath Press, 543/2 Castlehill, the Royal Mile, Edinburgh EH1 2ND, Scotland www.luath.co.uk.
