Description

The Butterfly Effect is a collection of sixty poems that weave together themes of self-discovery, resilience, feminism, and the fragile beauty of being human. Rooted in the personal and drawn from real-life observations, Rachel’s poems are at once intimate and universal. The collection takes readers through moments of silence and storm, love and loss, rebellion and renewal. Some verses come as whispers of vulnerability, while others roar with defiance against injustice and societal expectation. Each poem is a small act of resistance and release—proof of how words can hold both tenderness and fire.

Rachel Gale Coutinho, a Goan poet who began writing as a teenager through journaling, brings a voice that is raw, authentic, and deeply emotional. Writing for her is not just art but catharsis, and The Butterfly Effect reflects that honesty. This book is for dreamers, rebels, and survivors—for anyone who has ever been told they are “too much” or “not enough.” It is a reminder that even the smallest act of courage can ripple into transformation, and that every flutter matters.
