Author: Temsula Ao Songs Along The Way Home is the sixth book of poems from the versatile writer from Nagaland Temsula Ao, who has also written books about her own culture and folklore, commentaries on social issues in essays, short fiction, literary criticism,  her Memoir and now a novel.  But the bulk of her writing since 1988 has been poetry; as she herself admitted to an interviewer once that she is happiest writing poetry and added that if she is remembered at all, she would like to be remembered as a poet! The Earlier 5 Books of Poems are now available in a collected volume called Book of Songs published by Heritage Publishing House, Dimapur (2013).
