Synopsis
What if desire is not something to conquer, but something holy enough to kneel before?
Hips Like Holy Rivers is a collection of erotic and narrative poems shaped by a daughter of the diaspora returning to India in search of her roots—only to discover they are already growing within her.
Moving through temples and bedrooms, pilgrimages and lovers’ arms, these poems trace an apprenticeship to India herself: a land that teaches through heat, ritual, hunger, and touch. As the poet surrenders to love, longing, and the unfamiliar, devotion and desire begin to mirror one another—submission to a lover echoing the deeper yielding required by the divine.
India is not only a setting but a presence: mother, mystic, seductress, initiator. In her gaze, the speaker confronts inherited shame, fractured belonging, and the ache of wanting what both calls and resists her. What emerges is a reckoning with the body as a sacred site, where erotic awakening becomes a form of prayer.
