Vol. 6, No. 1

Life moves on … There are points of departure, just as there are surprises at every turn. There are good times and bad times! This happens in every family and in every society! And such is the story of life itself! This issue of the journal is a significant one, as there are new sections and new editors. Let us accept the changes. Let us embrace the new members into our Caesurae family, just as we respect the memories of the ones who were with us for some time. Some young scholars with whom lies the future of Caesurae, have been encouraged to join us in the activity of editing as editorial assistants. A family needs the old and the young. Just as we need the expertise of the stalwarts to guide us, we also need the new generation’s ideas to grow. 

This issue has devoted two sections to “Trauma”. The “Mana” or the Creative Writing Section of the journal, includes artistic articulations of trauma, through poems, short stories and creative pieces. “Interventions” Section of the journal academically analyses how trauma translates into literature, films, art and architecture, across geo-cultural spaces.

We have revamped the “Translations” Section, and we sincerely hope that the readers will enjoy going through the translations and critical essays focusing on literature from eastern India, in this issue. 

A new section on “Book Reviews” has been added to the journal this time. The Special Feature Section on “Comparative Cultures”, has some very interesting essays.

The “Ekhphrases” and “Spring Rhythm” sections, which include music and artworks by professionals and budding artistes, we hope will offer you a creative pause. 

As you surf through this issue, we want to tell you that, there’s yet much more! We promise much more in the forthcoming (Vol 6: 2, 2025) issue of the journal. 

Do stay with us, as we keep growing! Wish you all peace, love and reading leisure and pleasure! “Caesurae” is after all a deep breath, a creative pause amid the stress that life these days, flings on us.
