My Twirls

– The Said and The Unsaid-

February, 2022

In this debut collection of prose poems, Sanjukta discovers the therapeutic quality of writing and sketching along with it. The loss of her mother and other turns in her family structure in 2022 transported her to a space of profound loss. Her grief led her to write. In her writing, she found solace. The collection also reflects Sanjukta’s coping style, values of life, faith, and how significantly she holds onto them to steer the way forward.

Says Sanjukta “I believe healing is a process. Pandemic took us through many mental trials. In this collection I have tried to capture the time and experience in my journey towards peace and letting go”.

It’s a poignant collection of prose poetry where Sanjukta’s words offer a balm for healing the soul.

About Book

My Twirls The Said and The Unsaid is Sanjukta’s highly anticipated debut prose poetry collection that was published in the last week of December 2022, heralding new paradigms for 2023, for her.

In her words, says Sanjukta, “As I left behind 2022, and stepped into 2023 receiving the proof copy for my first book! It felt surreal to be able to hold it in my hands. I was reminded of the first time I held my sons when they were born. My first authored book felt no different ! I welcomed 2023 telling myself the journey to authorship begins! Feeling of first, can’t be explained in words and that’s what I experienced. I am grateful to ALL who made this monumental shift in my life, possible!!”

Sanjukta’s inspiration to compose a collection of free-flowing prose poetry, that does not confine to any form, not only comes from her love of words, but it also stems from a will to transform her darkest moments into something beautiful. Her book touches on themes such as the loss of her mother, family flaws, heartbreak, grief, isolation and her deep faith in spirituality. The imperfect illustrations are a heartfelt exploration of self-reflection for healing through sketching. She wrote this collection to share her story and advocate ‘writing’ to restore harmony within.

"This Christmas I received this beautiful gift of a just-released book - from the writer herself! The wonderfully warm-hearted and incredibly generous Sanjuktadi is a woman of many talents - and the amazing thing about her is that she, unfailingly and unhesitatingly, has time for everyone. I’m lucky to be part of her world. From the little that I have skim-read after downloading the book, the poems are suffused with the same optimism, affection and poignancy that Sanjuktadi has come to epitomise."

"I had the pleasure of meeting Professor Sanjukta Das in person, and little did I know that in addition to being an extremely dedicated person to her students, she was also a writer. When I heard about her book launch with profound poems describing the challenges of the loss of her dear mother and the return of her son to his homeland, I immediately acquired this magnificent book. I recommend purchasing this book, I'm sure that just like me you will also leave this reading extremely touched and stronger."
