One of the things that amazes me are the voices that form poetry. Sometimes, it is a lament. After the sighs, come the screams. At times, it is a contemplation. And sometimes, an observation, an acknowledgement that eases the swallowing within furious waves. Isolocation is a collection of poems that is home to all these forms. There are poems that nurse, there are poems that make you question, and then there are poems that help you accept. It is a collection that helps you through these challenging days, one poem at a time.

9 fab writers coming together amidst this pandemic and penning some of the best poems that has various muses from simple things we observed during this quarantine.

I had a couple of favourites which I'll definitely reread now and again.

Must read for all the blooming poets out there.

P.S - Ishmeet Nagpal, I'm your fan!

So many different voices, one book. Brilliant compilation by Nirav and team. Each one takes you on a separate journey so unique yet relatable. We have felt most of these emotions during this unprecedented lockdown making it a poignant read.
Some of my favourites are written by Gayathri Vishwanath and Ishmeet. Highly recommended
