Reverie is an outpour of emotions that wrestles with words to attach more meaning to life and all that within. Through a deeply personal journey, Lakshmi Balaji weaves her way through the human condition and every experience along the way - the fragility of life, the overwhelming expanse above and around and, the unyielding questions of life. Where prose fails, poetry rushes to fill the gaps.
‘By The Lakes of Udaipur’ transports you to the Rajput era, transcending the passages of time. ‘Living Martyrs’ interrogates sacrifice. ‘The Mountain’ reveals the magic and raw lushness that rouses the senses and the soul. ‘Can’t Love Anymore’ freezes you with the anguish of loss. ‘Let Down the Ladder’ is an emotional plea. ‘Memories Drifting’ is the last moments of a tired mind. Exploring varied emotions, Reverie is a unique collection to be read and cherished.
