March arrives with a whisper of spring, much like the delicate hues of the Brimstone butterfly—our theme for this edition. As The Wise Owl takes flight into another vibrant issue, we bring you a curated selection of literary and artistic treasures that celebrate transformation, resilience, and creativity.

​

This month, we are honored to feature two remarkable personalities: Nishi Chawla, an acclaimed author, writer, and award-winning filmmaker, and Rachel Wright, a gifted embroidery artist whose intricate creations bring fabric to life.

​

In Talking Books, we delve into Ketaki Mazumdar’s poetry collection, Toasted Orange Embers, uncovering the depth and nuance of her verse.

​

Poetry remains the soul of The Wise Owl, and this edition brings together lyrical gems from poets across the world, each offering a distinct and evocative voice. Our fiction section is equally compelling, featuring thought-provoking narratives that linger in the mind. For our review enthusiasts, we present an exploration of Infinity Strings by RC Thomas & Hifsa, reviewed by Billie Dee, alongside an in-depth analysis of Black Warrant and its gripping storytelling.

​

We are also thrilled to announce The Wise Owl Literary Awards ceremony, which will take place on 15th March. The Winner will be awarded Rs 25,000/-, a plaque, and a scroll, while the First and Second Runner-up will each receive a plaque and a scroll, celebrating their literary excellence.

​

This edition also marks the launch of The Wise Owl Picks, a new segment where we spotlight books that have captivated us and deserve a place on your reading list. Our three selections this month are Orbital, Greek Lessons, and Under the Sapphire Sky.

​

As we unfurl our wings with this edition, we invite you to immerse yourself in its pages, let words take flight, and embrace the beauty of change.

Happy Reading!
