Present. Generous. Dignified. Shilpa Dikshit Thapliyal’s Aerial Roots is a deeply contemplative collection, intelligent and lustrous in its surfacing of rich feeling and authenticity. Perambulating around the banyan tree are poems laced in heavy symbolism. Threaded through are astonishingly beautiful images and sounds. The confessional moments meander their way confidently through verse, from the ghazal and haibun to prose poem. One becomes witness to a fondness—of memory, of nostalgia. Wait for the beautiful epiphanies, even as time and space remain suspended in this alluring lyric imagination. One encounters a poetry that bravely looks at ideas of identity, border crossings, diaspora, heritage, tradition, community, family, and what it means to belong. Indeed, this is a welcome homecoming for the author, and what a grand tour of a life’s journeying it has been. Sublime. Remarkable.

Buttressed by her transnational sensibilities, the personal and the universal entwine in her poetry, serving as a living, breathing testament to the intricate connections between place, identity, and the human experience. Like seeds that grow into mighty banyan trees, Shilpa's poems weave a tapestry of interwoven perspectives, akin to a reticulated network of aerial roots—one which branches out into a forest of reflection and imagination that takes root in the reader's mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e— Ow Yeong Wai Kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEducator and Poet  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese poems are lush with images and symbols from the two countries\/cultures Shilpa deftly inhabits, her original home in India and the new in Singapore where she now lives.

Set under the metaphoric, awning leitmotif of the banyan tree, Thapliyal’s poems offer the reader a universe with hidden windows that open unto an “undergrowth of decades”. One unlocks new meanings every time one enters her work. The poems speak of dislocation, migration, identity or the loss of it, and of the untethered state of our being, while also being contained within exquisite, precise language. The poet has a remarkable ability to draw connections between the personal and the cosmic, the present and the past, longing and reality. Her work is tender, incisive, clear-sighted and deeply intimate, replete with “stains and spills of plump memories”. Her poetry stuns us, wounds us, keeps us warm, while being unapologetically her own. The poems display amazing manoeuvring of the terrain of the page and the mind - a gentle flow, akin to a river’s graceful swirl on its journey. The memories shared with us are mesmerising and quintessentially, culturally, charmingly Indian. Indeed her poems hold “… lamps to moonless skies”. The collection is a milestone written on the existential nuances of life. Every line, an “aperture for departure”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e— Vinita Agrawal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePoet and Editor\u003cbr\u003e__________\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Rosetta Cultures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRosetta Cultures is an imprint by TrendLit Publishing that focuses on championing and bridging languages and the arts across cultures and communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRosetta Cultures is currently based in Singapore, serving local and international readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 978-981-94-3584-5 (Paperback)\u003cbr\u003eCIP: Available with National Libarary Board, Singapore\u003cbr\u003ePublisher \/ Imprint: Rosetta Cultures\u003cbr\u003eDate of Publication: August 2025\u003cbr\u003eSuggested Categorization: Poetry, Contemporary Literature, Singapore Literature\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 19cm (H) x 13cm (W), 100 pages\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rosetta Cultures","offers":[{"title":"Signed | 簽名版","offer_id":46820494803170,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Normal | 普通版","offer_id":46820494835938,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/2883\/8978\/files\/AerialRootsCover_HR-Front.png?v=1756980819"},{"product_id":"bathroom-love-affair","title":"Bathroom Love Affair◎M.Allen","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEros doesn’t believe in love—despite being named after the god of it.
