Iridescent Minds: Glowing in Tenderness

By Smeetha Bhoumik

Book Overview

This is a collection of poems written during two magical spring-summers of 2024, 2025, at Panorama International Literature Festival, CeWoPoWriMoWE, TSL, and poems written in my personal creative writing space all through the year. Incubated in thoughtful contemplation and a slow deliberate processing of emotions and responses over time, myriad thoughts have burst forth into poetry expressing kaleidoscopic perspectives.

There's so much going on all around - in one's immediate surroundings as well as in the big wide world outside, fraught with intense issues. A time etched indelibly in the mind in its stark contrasts; its palette tinged with shades of grey as also pointing to a conscience almost frozen in the face of unfolding realities Within the joy of being, a tremulous voice cries out to be heard, its silence deafening. The moments that soar are ever present, as always, in the music of birds and momentous dawns - profusely poetic, holding out promise in simple yet extraordinary ways; yet tinged with the heartbreak of ashen visages and the sound of gunfire.
