Watering the Dead and the Unseen – Sumana Roy

At her home in Siliguri, India, writer and poet Sumana Roy collects
the trunks, roots, and branches of fallen trees and affectionately
places them in the rooms of her house—admiring their life even in
death. In this narrated essay, Sumana and her nephew debate whether
the dead trunks can be revived by the element of water and reflect
on the continuance of all that has vanished from our sight.
