Palaknama

This collection of Palak Shukla’s poems gives expression to the heart and scales the thoughts of the mind. Palaknama is an ode to emotions. The poet reveres in Ghalib and Gulzar and her style reflects the similarity in portraying emotions that we humans experience and connect through. It’s the voice that screeches within and looks out for the echo to resonate with; it’s a tale of a heart containing varied emotions, from angst to exhilaration. The poems are in Hindi with a Roman transliterated version included to facilitate poetry lovers who have a penchant for poetry but are unable to read Hindi in Devnagri lipi.
