A year of mornings

About the book

A year of mornings is a collection of fifty love poems. It follows a young heart as it finds love, finds the strength to be in love and finally, finds the strength to let go.

The collection is divided into three parts: new beginnings, a year of mornings and from desperation to despair.

A note on the poems

I wrote most of these poems from 2017-2018, in the back seat of an old Tata Sumo while travelling to work. The world would be asleep then, the roads empty, the morning air cool and calm.

By the time I would board the cab, most pickups were already done and I would have to sit in the back. I did not like sitting there. Whenever the Sumo went over a pothole, I would be thrown up in the air.

I came to appreciate it as time went on. Most days I was the only person in the back. While my colleagues slept, or watched something on their phones, I would open my phone and write.

I wrote a poem a day for a full year. I would write the poem, send it across the ether and then sleep. Or look outside, at the dogs in the street, the birds on the trees.

This is a collection of fifty poems plucked from that set of poems. Once I had collected the fifty poems I wanted to publish, I put them in one of the three parts this collection is split into: the hopeful beginning, the joy of a mornings and the despair in things concluding.
