Words Not Spoken is a potpourri of poems written over a considerable stretch of time. They trace every step of the poetic journey of a woman's heart. They represent the poet's perceptions of life with all its highs and lows, troughs and crests. They trace experiences of loss and grief, pride and joy, betrayal and pain. Some poems express an awareness of the injustices rampant in the world but mostly they centre around the intensely peculiar dimensions of womanhood - its sentimental treasures and curious travails and around the quintessential human experience.
Pain has a penumbra of numbness attached to it. And sooner or later, we choose this numbness to the acuteness. It is this invisible fine shift towards a state of stillness that lies behind these poems. Endurance, in any form, is at the core of this writing.
