1 A Cup of Tea for Dad and Me Arnis Silvia , Susheel K. Sharma , 2022 sequence poetry
— Appears in: Teesta Review : A Journal of Poetry , November vol. 5 no. 2 2022; 'Two poets of different cultures and generations have come together to converse through poetry on the various themes, such as: grief, equality and age. The chapter title ‘A cup of tea for Dad and Me’ symbolises two things. One, ‘a cup of tea’ represents shared moment, shared knowledge or shared understandings. It reflects our dialogues and conversations which occurred in the form of poetry; poems and response poems are tools for building shared understandings and co-creating new meanings. Meanwhile, ‘for Dad and Me’ refers to intergenerational views and understandings towards aspects of life, which represents both poets’ points of view coming from two different generations (a woman in her 30s and a man in his 60s).'

1 Letters from Adelaide and Prayagraj Arnis Silvia , Susheel Sharma , 2020 single work essay
— Appears in: TEXT Special Issue Website Series , October no. 60 2020; 'The collaborative work consisting of corresponding poems between an Adelaide-based poet Arnis Silvia and a Prayagraj-based poet Susheel Sharma deals with anthropological phenomena like identity, ecological awareness and social justice. Taking the geographical background in both resident cities, the six pairs of poems reflect on how both the poets understand the world around them along with its impact on them personally and socially. The poets have employed some principles of duoethnography in their poetic conversations by dialoguing themselves with another self, with another context of culture, tradition, values, histories and meaning-making (Sawyer & Norris 2012). The authors have attempted to put themselves in someone else’s shoes and have tried to see the world through their and others’ eyes to better understand the reality(ies) that were portrayed in the poems. The authors have discovered that despite their geographical and cultural differences, they share many similarities in terms of the issues they deal with daily; they struggle with their selves to make sense of the world and they reflect on realities in their surroundings to understand them better.'
