Notes

  • Author's note: Inspired by Madhvi Subrahmanian, Upla (cow dung), 2021, porcelain, dowel, woven basket, ipad and video (duration 3:17 mins), 220 x 620 cms. Subrahmanian places her work as an invocation of the handprints of women, marks made in everyday rituals. This work responds by reimagining the poetic structure of a sestina in prose form, repeating a sequence of four words across its four parts.

    'This issue of Meniscus is full of variety, with contributions probing issues connected to identity, perception, intertextuality, travel, ethnicity, interpersonal relations, language, authoritarianism, power, writing, the pandemic and much more besides. From our perspectives as editors, it is a satisfying issue because it makes a significant contribution to the complex discussions all societies need after two years of COVID-19—which have challenged many individuals and institutions, including governments. Such discussions include perspectives on how people choose to live and the ethical and moral dimensions of human conduct, and various pieces in this issue relate to such issues.'
