Firstdraft Writing Program: Jal Jalaa
This piece is a collection of 7 poems titled 'Jal Jalaa / Water b(o)urn' . In the language of Hindi the word 'jal' means water and 'jalaa' translates to the English word 'burn'. Through this elemental dichotomy expressed in two different tongues, the title attempts to reflect the cross-pollination of emotions through language - its textuality and contextuality that is woven through the poetry within.
