In Mother’s Land
This is a collection of poems that have been coming to be written down and shared in the years that I have been living in Auroville – the experimental ground for “human unity in diversity” which The Mother (Mirra Alfassa) created to welcome home Her children from India and across the world.

I’m Anandi Zhang. I live in Auroville. Poetic since childhood, I lost it somewhere along the way.

Mostly, the “poems” come on their own, in a poetic sense, images, words or whole poems, and I simply pen them down.
