_**About the Author**_
 Archana Sharma has explored her passion for design through
architecture, landscape architecture education, art and poetry. She has worked in
India, Singapore, Australia, and now lives in Baltimore, USA, with her family.

_**About the Book**_
 In a review of the book, Elizabeth S. Gunn writes:

“Archana Sharma’s poetry is elegant, geometric and probes the spaces, limits and
fields of human contact within architecture. The poetic voice is both personal and
traverses boundaries between space and time. This is a thoughtful collection of 
verses built around an architect’s view of the world that frames us all. Pensive,
sharp and probing.”

One of her poems follows.

_dead_

more and more i see
 dead buildings rising trappings of tech, vinyl and glass

gnawing at the lives within, without
 plastic veil-disconnects, looking in or out
