Map of Nothing

Map of Nothing is not a guide, but a wandering. These poems move through the cracks of memory, the weight of silence, the ache of being seen and unseen. Love dissolves into loss, grief bends into desire, and the self scatters across rooms, bodies, and unfinished conversations. Megha Chakraborty writes of hollowness the way one writes of weather something that arrives, lingers, and reshapes everything it touches. This is a book about nothing and, in that nothing, the pulse of what it means to be human.
