Synopsis
“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” – Nietzche
This book is 10 years in the making. I wanted to release into the wild, the emotions in me that did not belong with each other, but seemed inseparable just the same. At the core of all my poems is a sentiment waiting to be felt, so I hope you give it a chance to ripple through your core and make home in your soul.
These poems encompass everything from my conversations with peace to my walks with surly poets, heavenly games to rotting crops. I hope the poems let you step out of yourself and experience the world through someone else’s emotional lens. And I hope the poem you read today is undeniably everything you ever needed from life. Just for today.
About the Author
Nefy was born and brought up in India. She was raised with ideals of perfection, excellence and math, which made perfect sense to her until she fell in love with poetry. She then found herself in two worlds. One of structures and efficiencies and the other of poetic musings and wasted days. She dedicated over two decades of her life to the first world: finished her bachelors in engineering, as an Indian of her generation is required to do by law. She, then, got a master’s in business, as is customary for a woman her age, in response to the dreaded question of marriage. However, she has now allowed herself to deviate into her second world of crazy and chaos, and this book is the result of that deviation.
