'The equivalence between the flow of rivers and verse is almost as old as rivers themselves. Our ambition in creating Teesta is to offer the equivalent of a river bank to voices, both poets and readers, participants and observers who have chosen to live in the poetic. Heraclitus’s oft-quoted axiom, ‘You cannot step into the same river twice’, is how we think of the poetic – of everydayness, its repetition and difference. Just as a river doesn’t reject anything that enters its flow, Teesta, our literary magazine, is open to all kinds of interpretations of the poetic.'
