The art gallery covers a vast plethora of emotions in women during their most vulnerable moments in life but also depicting their resilience and strength. With lines like ’I know I will burn till the fire burns in me’ to ‘I fear remaining an outline’, a woman’s path though is strewn with monotony, anonymity and most often being almost a non existent entity, these poems are an amazingly brilliant saga of how she carves out her own niche.
From the women as Shakti of the poet Mandira Ghosh and the power that comes from truth, bliss, and consciousness, Anna Yin’s poem speaks volumes about bonding with nature, missing someone loved and the entwining of all three. In Vedas, women are symbols of Prakriti, mother nature. Nature becomes part of us and we derive strength from nature.
Alka Tyagi’s poem leads us to the various phases of awakening, of truth around us!
If Zohra Zoberi’s poem is about empowered moments in an immigrant woman’s life, Sangeeta’s poem clearly states in a subtle manner the power of saying NO to others whereas undeniably stating that the real happiness lies in giving happiness to others.
It was indeed delightful and touching to read, as the poets have woven their poems delicately with words of wisdom and expressions so vivid and diverse; yet so powerful!
My best wishes to Meena Chopra and all the poets!
