Author Information

Tanya Mendonsa is a poet and a painter. She graduated in English from Calcutta, and later moved to Paris to paint, major in French literature at the Sorbonne, and run a chaotic language school. After twenty years in Europe, she returned to live in India, with the abstract painter Antonio E. Costa. They moved from Bangalore to Goa and now live in the Nilgiri Hills in south India with their dogs. Tanya has exhibited her paintings widely, but her focus is on her writing. In her poems, she draws deeply from a poetic tradition of the wonders of the natural world, which illuminate her first book, The Dreaming House, published by HarperCollins India in 2009. She is currently working on her second book of poems. The Book of Joshua is her first work of Non-fiction.
