Description of the Book:
Step into a world where every verse is a mirror reflecting the myriad facets of womanhood and society's complex tapestry. In this collection, I delve into the lives of diverse women, each navigating through their unique struggles and triumphs against the backdrop of various societal settings. Through poetry, I weave together my observations, opinions, and musings on pressing social issues, inviting readers to contemplate the echoes of history reverberating in our present.
Amidst these pages, you'll find brevity and depth intertwined, with short poems and haikus capturing moments of profound emotion and introspection. I understand the pace of the world we live in, especially in the post-Covid era, where attention spans are fleeting yet craving substance.
From the quiet strength of a working mother to the resilient spirit of a survivor, every poem is a testament to the resilience and beauty found in the feminine experience. This book is not just a collection of words; it's a journey—a microcosm of thoughts waiting to resonate with your soul and ignite conversations that transcend the boundaries of time and space.

Author's Name: Varsha M.A
About the Author: I am Varsha, an aspiring writer deeply passionate about poetry and literature. My academic journey led me to explore confessional poetry, with a particular focus on the works of Sylvia Plath and Kamala Das. Through my research, I discovered the transformative power of confessional poetry as a tool for women's emancipation. I earned my master's degree from the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom in English literature, where I conducted a comparative study on this subject. Currently, I share my love for literature as a teacher at Trivandrum International School, where I nurture young minds and foster a love for the written word. My artistic inclinations are complemented by strong political values centred on equality, women's empowerment, LGBTQIA+ rights and mental health. Both in my spoken words and written work, I strive to make a meaningful impact on the world, advocating for social justice and empathetic understanding. Book ISBN: 9789363314788
