A Kind of Freedom Song

Aditi Rao is a poet in search of language—she looks to history and mythology, to beaches and forts and around street corners—she finds herself in this language—resurrects bones, body, but most importantly, tongue. She presents the words to us—a kind of freedom song—like the trees she writes of, who ‘wear their roots on the outside’. She is speaking. Listen.
