Longings

The strength of Mukulika's writing is its raw and rugged texture. Her poems depict the vulnerability we seek in romantic love and human companionships in a post-Pandemic world. They reach out to millennials struck by the pangs of online dating, all the while fighting patriarchal gaze. Mukulika's verses also reflect years of trauma, longing for maternal love, and the touch of the familial. Her ability to turn household objects of regular use into material for poetry is unique and is an essential feminist tool in writing one's experiences.
