"Nishta Mehra's luminous prose shines in these linked essay
meditations on love, grief, and identity. A natural storyteller,
she has an original voice, an ear for spoken language, and an eye
for the sparkling detail. A compellingly original coming-of-age
story told in writing that is at turns crisp and lyrical but always
entertaining." -Cara Blue Adams, editor, "The Southern Review"
""The Pomegranate King" is an emotionally balanced, thoughtfully
curated collection of essays...Mehra unpacks what it means to
arrive at the shores of other strange countries: coming out,
falling in love, becoming a parent and mourning your own. A truly
moving debut." -Lauren Eggert-Crowe, author of "In the Songbird
Laboratory & The Exhibit"
Divided into four sections--Identity, Death, Community, &
Belief--"The Pomegranate King" is a dynamic collection of essays
that showcases Nishta Mehra's insightful voice and unique
perspective. Filled with stories that are at once deeply personal
and universally relevant, these twelve original essays demonstrate
Mehra's ability to find meaning in all facets of human experience.

adventures in the kitchen, or analyzing the art of Mark Rothko,
Mehra makes smart, poignant observations that will captivate and
touch you. An engaging, compelling read.
