“These are not just poems. They are quiet conversations I had with myself – on strength, stillness, identity, and becoming.” In this intimate and unflinching collection, Gagan Priya writes with the grace of someone who has learned to carry both fire and softness. Her words move through the inner landscapes of a woman’s life – asking nothing, yet offering recognition to those who have ever paused, persisted, or quietly risen. These poems do not demand attention. They invite reflection – gently, honestly, and without apology. They speak to the ache and awe of becoming, of finding one’s voice in silence. This collection holds space for every person who had ever tried to bloom in difficult soil.
