Description

Soft Thunder is a profound, minimalist journey into the quietest corners of the human heart, where grief and resilience live side by side. Through a series of sharp and hauntingly beautiful verses, Anzal N. explores the weight of things left unsaid and the heavy silence that follows a life-changing storm. The collection is divided into thematic chapters that map the transition from deep darkness to a stubborn, newfound light. Each poem acts as a mirror, reflecting the ache of memory and the slow, graceful process of healing after loss. With unique imagery—from the struggle of a one-legged crow to the depths of a silent sea—the author captures the universal feeling of being broken yet refusing to shatter. This debut collection is written for the survivors, the dreamers, and anyone who has ever found beauty in their own scars. It serves as a gentle reminder that even when the world feels total and dark, we are never truly powerless. Soft Thunder is more than just a book of poetry; it is a companion for those navigating the aftermath of their own internal storms. It invites readers to embrace their vulnerability and discover the immense strength that comes from staying soft in a hard world.
