The Mirage of the Threshold is a hauntingly intimate poetry collection that explores grief, absence, and the quiet spaces we learn to live in after loss. Through spare, reflective language and evocative imagery, Akarsha Gupta invites readers to step into the in-between — where memory lingers, emotions breathe, and absence becomes a companion rather than an end. These poems are a meditation on living with what remains, a gentle exploration of intimacy with loss, and a testament to resilience and quiet courage.
