The Field of Why – Shloka Shankar | Yavanika Press’ 50th Title! Available in Eight Countries
We are tremendously blessed to know and work with Shloka. She is certainly a force of nature, managing many creative visions in addition to supporting other artists while finding time to release her own plethora of content.
In 2023, we had the pleasure of working directly with Shloka’s company Sonic Boom – who orchestrated ZO’s Haiku Contest. Check out the winners and their amazingly profound Haiku’s at: Zoom With ZO.
Shloka Shankar is a poet, editor, publisher, and self-taught visual artist from Bangalore, India. She enjoys experimenting with Japanese short-forms and myriad found poetry techniques alike.
