Made during a period of recovery from surgery, Reba Hore’s journal began in a humble dhobi khata: a ledger meant for keeping a list of clothes being given to the washerman. Over a few weeks, its blank pages filled with drawings and poems—tender, restless, spare—made from the nearness of pain, memory, labour, age and everyday life.

In these pages, Hore attends to the world with a rare and unsentimental steadiness: a child’s hunger, a mother at dusk, a tendril, a goat’s sudden leap, the ache of the body, the pull to keep walking. Her lines move between fragility and resolve, between inward weather and the life around her. The book gathers 147 original pages by an artist for whom compassion, creativity and human effort were not abstractions, but a continuous practice of seeing, feeling and making.
