Calmly Chaotic Musings  (Paperback, Tanya Sonker)

Calmly Chaotic Musings is a collection of poems about love, life, emotional struggles, longings and mental health. The poems in this collection express those feelings that are embedded in the back of our minds but we fail to put them into words or actions. All the poems are a philosophical journey of life including romance, friendship, a person's connection with nature, unfulfilled expectations, and endless musings of a teenage mind. The book has been divided into three sections viz. CALM, CHAOS and MUSE. The poems in the first section are easy going and mostly talk about the thoughts of a person's mind with relation to nature, friendships, self- awareness and self-care. The poems in the second section, CHAOS are a bit heavy as they talk about anxiety, sadness , depression, longing, broken hearts, unfulfilled desires and loneliness. The third and the last section, MUSE comprises of poems that are very light since they are musings of a teenage soul put into words. All in all the theme that run through the book and connects the poems is friendship, love and the connection between two people, self awareness and also the person's connection with nature. Each poem is an emotion that a reader has felt at some point of their lives or the other. The reader would realize that these are his own thoughts that he was not able to put into words but definitely had them in his mind at some point of time on their life. This collection aims to inspire people to love; love themselves first and then love others, feel all the emotions they have and feel them deeply because emotions are what make us human.
