Editor Speak

August 2025

Welcome to the Lumen Edition of The Wise Owl—our celebration of light, clarity, and illumination in the spheres of literature and art. This is yet another monthly edition lovingly curated by The Wise Owl team.

​

In this edition, we shine a spotlight on Tansy Troy—poet, performer, playwright, and educationist—alongside the bold contemporary art of Emma Sampil.​ In Talking Books, we converse with poet and academic Laksmisree Banerjee about her latest poetry collection The Red Woman, a heartfelt tribute to womanhood. Our Talking Art feature explores the vibrant creativity of Indian artist Mahesh Sharma, whose acclaimed Nar-Nari series, exhibited at World Art Dubai, earned widespread praise.

​

Our Poetry segment brims with the creative energy of poets from across the globe, while our Fiction section teems with compelling stories and yarns by talented writers worldwide. In Reviews, we delve into The Vagabond by Vishnu Prabhu and Under the Sapphire Sky by Sangeeta Sharma, with insightful critiques by Geethanjali Rajan and Shailja Sharma. Our Film Review segment takes a closer look at Squid Game: Season 3, reviewed by Dr. Ramandeep Mahal. And don’t miss The Wise Owl Picks, where we highlight noteworthy books that caught our attention this month.

​​

A gentle reminder—the Wise Owl Literary Awards submission window closes on 30th August. If you’d like to be part of our celebration of literary and creative brilliance, do send in your nominations.
