Cruel Things is a collection of poems about the quiet, complicated parts of being human. Love that lingers, loss that reshapes us, and moments we carry long after they’ve passed. Written between workdays and daydreams, these poems explore everything from fleeting joys to deep grief, fierce womanhood to the beauty of ordinary things. A debut collection by Aayushma Singh, Cruel Things invites you into a world where language holds what we often leave unsaid.
