chronicles of entering my body’ has been shortlisted in the Rabindranath Tagore Literary Prize. This prize is a literary honor in India conferred annually to published works of Indian authors (residing in India or abroad) in novel, short stories, poetry and drama.

Rupam Baoni’s poetry touches deep into the realm of primordial sensuality, celebrating the reverence for humanity, the precision of an organism and its functions. It’s an ode to the human body, where the metaphysical is forever tethered to the earthly, inseparable from our primal urges and fertility. A profound journey into the fascinating feminine.
