Description

Written in the Margins of Silence: Poems Born Where Words Were Withheld is a philosophical poetry collection that explores aspiration, womanhood, and quiet resilience. Written from the lived experience of a Civil Services aspirant, these poems emerge from moments where emotions were felt deeply but rarely spoken aloud. The verses reflect the silent struggles of women—subtle patriarchy, societal pressure, emotional restraint, and the constant negotiation between selfhood and expectation. Interwoven throughout the collection is the aspirant’s journey, where discipline meets doubt and ambition learns patience. The poems also honour unseen support systems, especially the unwavering presence of a father standing behind his daughter’s dreams. Thoughtful yet accessible, the language blends introspection with clarity, allowing readers to find their own reflections within the lines. While rooted in a woman’s perspective, the themes of identity, resilience, and becoming resonate universally. This book is for readers who seek meaningful, feminist, and inspirational poetry that speaks from silence rather than noise.
