Shivneel S Murthi

The Beginning is Always the Hardest Shivneel S Murthi

Happy and sad. Good and bad. It's easy to think of life in such black and white terms but it's the nuances of the grey area that completes the human experience. This collection meanders through this in-between expanse, delivering you from one end to the other with effortless fluidity. Raw, touching, unique, are only a few words to describe the work in this book. The journey of self-discovery, self love, and self determination are affluent. The poems are eloquent and colloquial, modern and honest. Although one's experiences may not be exactly the same as in the book, it still manages to grip at your heart and make you feel the ache and emotion as the author heavily describes, in a humorous, meaningful way.
