Indelible is a literary and arts journal reaching out to a broader community of writers, both established and emerging. Indelible’s name, inspired by the way the poet Hilda Doolittle (H.D.) used it in her poem Trilogy, refers to inerasable ink, which is a metaphor for the power of words.
The journal, therefore, seeks to publish works from distinguished writers and artists with strong voices and literary/artistic convictions that represent diverse interests and aesthetic styles. Each themed semi-annual issue presents an eclectic set of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, reviews, interviews, op-eds, and art. It is our great pleasure to promote our contributors in any way we can.

About the two poems I have in there:
On the Connexion of the Physical Sciences
Mary Somerville, 1858
On the Connexion of the Physical Sciences was one of the best-selling science books of the nineteenth century. It is considered one of the first popular science texts, delving into many aspects of the known science at the time. Somerville published this book after her very successful publication, Mechanism of the Heavens came out in 1831 (a translation and interpretation of Laplace’s Mécanique Céleste). Somerville’s lines on strings comes with the duality of talking about the physical as well as the subatomic. My main aim was to express her sharp insight while capturing the poetic nature of her communication.
