An Agony of Hope

By Ananta Dave

Book Overview

With An Agony of Hope, Ananta Dave makes a haunting debut into the world of poetry.

Ranging from ref lections on her experiences as a doctor to deeply personal musings on identity, belonging, grief and loss, this collection is hard-hitting and heart-wrenching in equal measure.

The poems take you through the undulations of love and hope, expressed eloquently and unf linchingly. From the raw horror of 'Waiting' to emergence from the shadows in 'The Shape of Grief '. From the gently excoriating satire of 'Peasouper' to the open exploration of dual identity in 'An Inescapable Rightness of Being'. Whether it is the crack of a gunshot or the melody of birdsong, the fading colours of autumn or the blossoming of spring, you can hear and see the serenity and tumult, the vulnerability and strength leap from the pages.

This collection is sure to strike a deep chord in people from all backgrounds across the world, inviting you to dive in and immerse yourself in this exquisite journey through the range of human experience.
