The Weight of Forgotten Feathers

‘The Weight of Forgotten Feathers’ is a poetry collection of 50 poems that takes the readers on a journey through six phases of life that no one escapes- Love, Heartbreak, Death, Grief, Epiphany, and Resilience. The book bends the trajectory of ideal expectations that one has on life. Each poem in this book is a handpicked memory that has shaped the poet. She believes that grief, loss and sorrow is a collective bundle- a cargo of emotions one feels on a series of events. Hence, the title. The poetic paradox of the title, ‘The Weight of Forgotten Feathers’ explores the burden buried not in one cause but in a thousand small, unremembered losses endured during these phases in the slow erosion of time, relationships, and innocence.

Every birth of love is destined to die in heartbreak, grief follows the inevitable death, and the resilience following epiphany is the only way to survive. The book masterfully weaves a narrative that is both intensely personal and universally relatable, inviting readers to reflect on their own lives and emotions, encouraging them to confront their own “forgotten feathers”.

The poet relieves the reader with fun ‘tea and biscuit’ poetic fillers to break through the journey of the book.
