Heart First, Even If My Hands Shake

By Namitha Parthasarathi

Heart First, Even If My Hands Shake is a collection of 21 poems that explore the beautiful chaos of being human. From self-doubt and unsaid feelings to burnt rice, overthinking compliments, and quiet acts of courage, this debut captures what it means to keep going-even when nothing feels certain. Written with wit, warmth, and just enough unravelling, these poems remind us that bravery doesn't always roar-sometimes, it sighs, spirals, or stirs tea. This isn't a guide to perfection. It's a soft place to land, one shaky line at a time.
