How does one write about a father who is an iconic figure in Indian poetry, a mentor to the next generation. Kavita Ezekiel Mendonca treads this complex ground with wisdom and sophistication as she creates a commemorative volume for Nissim Ezekiel's hundredth birth anniversary in 2024. Blending her personal narrative with the public fame of her father, Kavita presents a collection of memoirs, tributes, interviews, and poetry - interspersed with photographs - that brilliantly offers archival material as well as a deeply moving story of genius and vulnerability. Contributors include by Adil Jussawalla, Alan Mendonca, Elkana Ezekiel, Fiona Fernandez, Gayatri Mazumdar, Gieve Patel, Jeet Thayil, Kamal Balsara-Bacha, Menka Shivdasani, Mohana Rao, Saleem Peeradina, Shalva Weil, Shanta Acharya, Sudeep Sen, Sujatha Mathai.
