About the Book

Tire Eso, Sahasini is a profound and introspective poetry collection that explores the realms of courage, fear, and cosmic uncertainty. Through this book, the poet invites the 'sahasini' (the courageous woman) to confront her inner and outer battles. The book delves into the abstract and the cosmic, examining feelings of vulnerability and strength in an uncertain universe.

The collection evokes a sense of timelessness, posing existential questions about the nature of sound, signal, and human connection. The poet grapples with the mystery of messages from distant realms—whether from another dimension, a far-off sea, or the farthest reaches of space. The essence of the collection is a call to a courageous figure, urging her to rise above the unknown and meet the challenges of life with unabashed bravery. The poet paints a picture of a world where emotions, courage, and fear are intricately woven into the fabric of existence, inviting readers to explore these themes through poetic expression.
