Dualities of Albireo

Albireo is the double star in the Cygnus constellation known for its striking contrast-gold & blue. This collection delves into the dualities that define existence. Just as Albireo’s brilliance emerges from the interplay of its opposing hues, these poems explore the tension and harmony of life’s binaries: love and loss, war and peace, hope and despair, humanity and nature, fate, and choice. Through this lens, Dualities of Albireo becomes a meditation on the paradoxes that shape the human race and our shared cosmos, each poem an invitation to find meaning in the light and shadow of our stories.-------'Kashiana Singh distills the myriad binaries of being alive; their ache, ecstasy beauty and devastation in a vivid yet compact chiaroscuro reminding us that we each have a teaspoon of stardust flowing in our veins.' -Sophia Naz, bilingual poet & essayist, author of Bark Archipelago'With precise expression and a contemporary voice, Kashiana Singh balances quiet acceptance with bold determination, tracing genealogies that stretch beyond Earth into the stars.'-Mandakini Pachauri, Indian poet and non-fiction writer'This collection is an exquisite examination of the threadbare weaving of latitudes and longitudes. In this journey, you will find yourself immersed in the elegy of anemones, ash, and branches, the atrium of sky, and the milk of dawn.' -Connie Post, author of Between Twilight 'Read and ruminate in the layered renderings of a seasoned voice. Her tone and texture will postpone your flight to a fulfilling poetic experience.' -Sanjeev Sethi, author of eight books of poetry
