I Saw a Peacock with a Fiery Tail
A pioneering visual exploration of the seventeenth century trick poem 'I Saw a Peacock with a Fiery Tail' this unique book uses art and design in the service of language.
New
A well-known folk poem from 17th century England, 'I Saw a Peacock with a Fiery Tail' is a form of trick verse. The poem at first seems nonsensical, but given a break in the middle of each line begins to make perfect sense.
In this pioneering visual exploration of I Saw a
Peacock, Gond tribal artist Ramsingh Urveti and book designer Jonathan Yamakami use art and design in the service of language. Working together, revealing and concealing, they brilliantly mirror the shifting ways in which poetry creates meaning.

Sita's Ramayana
A retelling of the timeless epic, this graphic novel is told from Sita's point of view and draws on a long tradition of female retellings of the saga.

Narrated by the heroine Sita, it is a powerful meditation on the fate of women, as they become pawns in the wars between men and kingdoms. But Sita is not just a patient victim of events – she endures her fate with fortitude, until the moment she decides to challenge it.
The book unites two women from very different
backgrounds: young urban writer Samhita Arni collaborates with Patua scroll artist Moyna Chitrakar to create this unusual graphic novel.

New
Edited by M. Lakshmanan
'The Flag' records the astonishing - and everyday - moments of the Indian tricoloured flag. The book is a part of Tara’s India Visual series, which contains collections of photography by remarkable yet largely unknown photographers from villages, towns and cities across India.
Ranging from its use as a bodily ornament to an item of trade by the poor, the flag has a host of meanings, each with a distinctive claim on the Indian nation. Bearing witness to these claims, this book is a powerful yet accessible visual essay on identity and citizenship, national pride and political indifference.
