8)   LITTLE BIT INDIA - LITTLE BIT USA (2nd Edition, 1997, Space Link
     Books, 119 pp, $7.95, ISBN: 553-04911-3)

     For Soma Vira, poetry is exploring origins from "Daedalian Delhi"
     to "freedom USA.," from roots in an ancient country with ancient
     traditions, to life in New York City. For Soma Vira, East is East
     and West is West, but not only do the two meet, they flourish
     together.

     In these poems from East and West, the author bridges the gap in
     our cultures - witty, wistful, or poignant, Soma Vira shows us
     the dichotomy of the United States and India, and yet their
     essential compatability.
