Goodreads asked Areeba Nishat:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Areeba Nishat I have always been fascinated by Phoenixes. How powerful they are and how even after burnt their life isn't over.

Over course of time, I've written about various themes ranging from rape, sexual assault, child abuse, ragging, equality etc.

One day, this idea just struck why not compile all these poems into one book. Why not encourage people to be strong, to overcome their struggles and complexex and come out stronger than before... Just like a Phoenix. So this is how my book, "Born From The Ashes" came into existence.
