dedicated minor poet
Good news! This from Moonstone Arts Center:

below are some of their comments:
"This chapbook is fun. I appreciate the voice here - at once clever and witty, poignant, restrained while also evocative. The sequencing is also worth applauding, there seems to be thought put into the order of these poems and the greater narrative arc. Themes explored here range from everyday/commonplace musings, identity, family, contemporary politics, art -- kinda all over the place in a good way."
"This voice is an entertaining companion, a storyteller, with a sense of humor and surprise. I found the opening poem Little Orange Horse haunting an evocative. Pradipika started out light but took a nice twist at the end with "there's no such thing as balance./ only balancing."
"I will be brief. I [largely] found this collection clever and entertaining: for example, I enjoyed almost all of the poems’ perceptive and/or humorous and/or poignant explorations of a range of appealing subjects, such as aging, family, and identity. And, I was charmed by those occasions when speaker surprised me. Two highlights of the many: “Little Orange Horse” and “Shotgun.”
