Sifting Through  (Paperback, Keerthi Unnikrishnan)

This book is a collection of poems that were majorly written during my teenage days and a few of them spilling over to my early twenties, with minor corrections made before publishing. One of them - 'In the Coffin of my Heart' was written for a poetry competition in my high school. Another poem- Boats, was written on social media, and one poem - 'The Smell of Death' has been published in my college magazine. The poems have a range of emotions and vague ideas and random musings. On retrospection, I find that they were often an outlet for some of the mental distress and dilemmas that I used to go through in my adolescence, but not share with anyone in person, as most of these poems are about multiple mind states. Looking back, I feel glad that I used to attempt writing it out atleast, unlike how now I rarely pick up my pen and jot down anything! They are not much, but yes, I do treasure them!
