Bladed Edge Between

Bladed Edge Between navigates intersections of memory, sound, and survival. This work unfolds as a sonic archive of longing, belonging, and becoming. Anchored in the sacredness of place, diasporic grief, and mystical remembrance, the poems move through ecological resonance, spiritual inheritance, and intergenerational healing. This expansive, multilingual collection uses the structure of Indian classical music as a formal and emotional scaffolding-ascending (Arohi), descending (Avroh), breaking open (Jhala), collapsing into silence (Khali). Each section becomes a note, a blade, a wound, and a prayer. Ruby Singh gifts us a speculative map through which the past sings into the future, always with us, all ways a part of us.
