“It is precisely its minimalism, echoing with the voices of that era’s poets, that gives the Partition story its unusual power. I found myself choking up more than once.”
“As one driven from his homeland a thousand years after you were, I was deeply moved ... so much tumult, and then an ending so understated it becomes overwhelming ... It brought tears to my eyes.”
"Thank you for reminding me, at every turning point—at each historic crossroads, each larger-than-life moment—that this was still our story, my story. And for the warm, steadying words when the light thinned."
(From the readers—Aroras and scholars—of the 2025 Pathfinder Edition)
Telling XII
Five pages. Entire worlds in motion.
A paradise turns to ash, an empire rises from its ruins—
An epic tale, told in a voice laced with humor and irony,
and in the words of the poets who witnessed history-making events.
We even laugh—sharply—at those who would rewrite our past:
"Step aside, Romans—
the Arora are here
to jump-start the Renaissance!"
And in the end, we find ourselves beside a river,
listening to a song of the river-dwellers—
"their children’s laughter
ripples like morning light,
their quiet lanterns
trace silver paths at dusk"
Join us every two weeks. Five pages. The Story of You awaits.
Experience Ash in Our Bones as it may once have been sung:
seated around a circle of fire
tale by tale, night by night
