"It was a wonderful experience interacting with you and appreciate the way you have planned and executed the whole publication process within the agreed timelines.”
Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh Pal“I write because I find poetry in your eyes,
And I am a poet because they deserve to be Shelly’s muse
But they chose to love me to bits,
Saving me from the madness that drove Hemingway to put a bullet through his head.”
Severely Brief Peace is not a collection of your everyday love poems where boy meets girl, and they live happily ever after. Each poem in this book has been derived from a personal experience of love, loss, and longing.
From experiencing the first heartbreak of ill-fated love to going on a journey to learn to love yourself one day at a time, these poems explore the emotions we feel every day but are too afraid to embrace. It is a reminder to yourself and the universe that there is a lot in this world to be grateful for. All we need to do is believe. This book is a collection of poems written over a period of five years, and the compilation is potent with the array of shades of love it’s going to leave you with.
Angel Srivastava
Angel Srivastava is a poet and writer who found comfort in prose and grew up reading and breathing literature, which sparked her dream to become an author. After over a decade of writing for herself, and working as a professional content writer for magazines, websites and media houses, Angel has a uniquely composed voice, which cuts through the pages to reach your heart.
Angel is based in New Delhi and spent her growing years in Lucknow. The two literary and culturally gifted cities show their influence in her work. Though the hot summer in both cities is a good reason for her to stir a glass of Rooh Afza, she covets a good snowfall. When she isn’t writing, she can be found with her muse and escape—cinema. Being inspired by stories, she hopes to inspire people to share their own. The intent that drives her work is to make the world a kinder place by making emotional expression the norm. Severely Brief Peace is her first step in that direction.
