"Room to Fly takes its shape and direction from a tenet of Japanese Sumi painting: If you depict a bird, give it space to fly. Padma Hejmadi explores the human spaces surrounding different aspects of experience across cultures."--BOOK JACKET.

"Her themes include language, landscape, literacy and illiteracy, movement and transformation, music, dance, legend, the cadence of ancient craft, metaphors of migration, and the ceaselessly unfolding layers of family relationships. Part autobiography, part travelogue, part meditation, this book represents a new genre with an old diction.

Hejmadi's prose combines lyricism, humor, and intellectual rigor, as it moves from Bombay to the Bahamas, from Japan to New England, the Greek Isles to New Mexico, tracing the elusive contours of cultural perceptions East and West and welcoming us into the intimate geography of individual lives."--BOOK JACKET.
