All The Lives She Carries

"All The Lives She Carries" is a poetry collection born from an extraordinary discovery- a daughter finding beauty and depth in her mother's scribbled pages. Together, Nirmala and Anitha have created something rare - a book that moves through time like a woman moves through life. From girlhood to womanhood. From the first flutter of a new life to the bittersweet art of letting go. Nirmala's poems - originally written in Tamil - are observations of a woman who pays attention. She writes about the rising sun and the cyclone, the raindrop and the forest, and the word "Amma" itself - finding in each of them a truth larger than the thing she is describing.
