A Symphony of Solitude Selected Poems

The poems in this collection emerged from rare moments of fertile solitude during my recovery from breast cancer in July and August 2025. In those quiet hours I found a deeper connection with myself and with the individual and social dimensions of existence. Each poem is a dive deep into the nature and character of the self its relationship to the world at large and its resonance with broader social issues especially from the perspective of a woman and ultimately as an ordinary human being seeking to understand the essence of life.
