Saris and a Single Malt

Saris and a Single Malt is a moving collection of poems written by a daughter for and about her mother. The book spans the time from when the poet receives a phone call in New York City that her mother is in a hospital in New Delhi, to the time she carries out her mother's last rites.
The poems chronicle the authorâ€™s physical and emotional journey as she flies to India, tries to fight the inevitable, and succumbs to the grief of living in a motherless world. This collection will move you, astound you, and make you hug your loved ones.

"There are few books like Saris and a Single Malt in which the loss of a mother, a homeland, and the self come together in a sustained elegy."

--Justen Ahren, Director Noepe Center, Author of A Strange Catechism

"In life, as in poetry, one must come from the heart. Sweta Vikram has done both with touching eloquence. Her work resonates deeply within one's deepest emotional sacristy."

--Sharon Kapp, Owner & Founder, Houston Yoga & Ayurvedic Wellness Center

"Saris and a Single Malt is a fitting and delightful tribute of a writer daughter to her affectionate mother which goes deep into the minds of all children who love their moms."

--K. V. Dominic, English language poet, critic, short-story writer, and editor from Kerala, India
