This poetry collection cuts through the themes of loss, love, grief and recovery. The first collection of Varnika Goel is a confession - how mental illness and grief can conquer every part of you and how it affects the daily life. These poems are a souvenir of hope and memento of survival. But most of all these are a small remembrance of an unforgettable trauma which is enfolded in each line of the poetry, with each poem. She writes in a vulnerable tone in the ending of one of her poems - Someone please save me/ I wish I could write this sentence/and call it poetry. For her artistic expression maps a way of survival. Amongst everything there is an underlying tone of hope which peeps between the lines.
