Wayfaring

wayfaring is a collection of poems about journeys, both physical and metaphysical. filled with keen observations on the nature of life and what it is to be human, imbued with love, raw emotion and a good measure of anger too, these poems touch on things that were and things that yet might be. ghosts from the past travel hand in hand with the reality of the present as tikuli explores the byways of society, family, love and loss, while questioning the role memory plays in our rapport with the many things that bind us to reality. at once elegiac and forward-looking, nuanced and outspoken, the poet's words call for us to understand that greater things unite us than divide us. this second volume of poems by tikuli is nothing less than a triumph.tikuli iis a blogger and author from delhi. her short stories and poems have appeared in print and in online literary magazines including le zaparougue, microw 8, the smoking book (poets wear prada press, us), life and legends, levure littéraire 10, the enchanting verses literary review, open road review, cafe dissensus, mnemosyne literary journal, women's web, readomania and troubadour21. tikuli's print publications include poems and stories in guntur national poetry festival anthology, melange - a potpourri of thoughts, silence is white and the much acclaimed chicken soup for the indian romantic soul (westland). her debut poetry book, collection of chaos, was published in 2014 by leaky boot press.
