Tides Of Being | A tapestry of 100 verses to take you to introspective journey
by Ruchi Sinha, Tanvi Agarwal
Tides Of Being by Tanvi Agarwal is a collection of 100 poems that takes the readers on the evolved form of basic childhood emotion - curiosity, into the questionnaire. A collection where every poem will take you on the journey of introspection.
Divided into three parts - Virtues of Life, You & Chaos, and Seeking Solace, each part offers the readers some questions and like our favourite teacher during exams, some hints to look out for the answers.
Each poem comes with an illustration literally - apart from the imagery it presents - giving way for more interpretations and diversity. However, the mastery of Agarwal lies in the fact that there were times when I was so immersed in the words that I missed looking at illustrations and then went back to them and found new meanings. The illustrations by Ruchi Sinha stand out on their own and make the poems more reflective.
If you are someone who is looking forward to reading more poems that can help you understand yourself better, this is a collection for you. And in the words of the poet herself -
"To the ones seeking self,
To the ones fighting with themselves
To the ones missing little joys,
And to the ones who feel lost. "
