Crumpled Papers: A book never meant to be finished

By Pallavi Jha

This poetry collection is a quiet conversation between a daughter and the silence she grew up with. Written by a young voice, these poems trace the emotional distance between a father and child, and how that distance echoes into friendships, love, and the fear of closeness.

Through verses on heartbreak, fractured friendships, grief, and avoidant attachment, the poet explores what it means to want connection but not know how to hold it. Each poem is personal yet familiar-meant for those who learned to retreat before they learned to trust.

This is a debut collection that doesn't offer answers, only honesty. A book for readers who have loved deeply, pulled away quietly, and carried emotions they never learned how to name.
