The poems in Stray Gods are notes from a journey about other journeys. They explore identity and place through the lens of a poet based in Pondicherry, India, as the result of a yearlong series of conversations with locals, travelers, and artists. Throughout history, the idea that a journey to an ‘exotic’ land has prevailed in folktales, religious literature, and pop culture. Stray Gods documents a year of exploring this cultural exchange as people from around the world undergo journeys, whether physical or internal, in search of answers.
