Writing Updates: Haiku, Stories, and Grimoires in Progress

Away from the world of data and AI, the writing desk is busy.

I'm working on an anthology of short stories that speaks directly to the world we're living in right now — stories like Unseen in the Crowd and The Onshore Blacksite Network that take the headlines and push them somewhere stranger and darker.

Also assembling a haiku collection. They say no one can agree how many haiku make a collection — so how many is enough? Asking for a poet.

Meanwhile, edits on The Magical Art Vol. II are nearing completion, and I'm waiting with some impatience for Hadean Press to publish The Song of Oberon.

More news on all fronts soon.

My poem 'The Disappeared' Featured in 'Poems for Protest' Anthology

Poems for Protest anthology cover

Delighted to share that my poem The Disappeared has been featured in Poems for Protest, an anthology edited by Charlotte Cosgrove and published by Rough Diamond Poetry (March 2026).

The editor wrote: “Thank you so much for being part of this anthology (which has been our favourite theme so far!)”

From the Amazon description: “Poems for Protest is a powerful anthology of voices raised against injustice, silence, and oppression. Curated from submissions to Rough Diamond Poetry, this collection brings together poets from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, united by a shared need to speak out. These poems confront political unrest, social inequality, environmental crisis, identity, resistance, and the personal cost of standing up and being heard.”

The Disappeared
Aaman Lamba
Mezahbeen tending a charred roti in her kinara on the Dal
Erin mourning her unborn daughter in Eire
The unworn Sunday dress of Javier’s young wife in Tijuana
Abbas, Majid and Khalid
will never play together in Nablus again
It takes only a moment to think of them,
It will take forever to forget.
They say the dead will be renewed
When the Messiah comes, riding on his donkey.
I tell you they come every moment,
Bringing chrism and salvation,
Offering submission.
The pure land stretches out over the horizon of memory,
We will be together as before, come back, come back!

Exciting New Role: Data & AI Partner and BFSI Practice Lead at Birlasoft

I'm thrilled to announce my new role as Data & AI Partner and BFSI Practice Lead at Birlasoft! After 25 incredible years, I'm channeling everything I've learned about data, AI, and financial services into building a world-class BFSI Data & AI practice — helping banks, insurers, and financial institutions achieve production-scale AI outcomes. Birlasoft's proprietary GenAI platform Cogito, combined with deep partnerships with Microsoft, Snowflake, and Databricks, makes this an extraordinary platform to drive real impact. I believe agility is more important than pure scale in the age of AI disruption — and 95% of AI initiatives still fail for four solvable data problems. We're here to solve them.
