between quiet and wild

By Kinjal Goyal

Some of us grew up being called wise before we were ready. Composed before we were healed. Strong before we were allowed to be soft.

Between Quiet and Wild is a debut poetry collection that traces the quiet unraveling of a girl who learned to read rooms before she read books, who loved deeply in silence, carried storms so others could rest, and slowly, carefully, found her way back to herself.

In four parts - Becoming, Loving, Unraveling, and Healing - these poems move through the ache of growing up too aware, the tenderness of loving without words, the exhaustion of always being the reliable one, and the radical gentleness of choosing yourself.

This is not a loud book. It does not shout.

But it will find the parts of you that have been waiting quietly to be named.

For the girl who was always too much and never enough. For everyone who recognised themselves in her.

"love sometimes arrives disguised as expectation."
"silence can also mean no one asked."
fragile is another word for alive."
