Author Bio..!!
Dr. Ridhima Aira Behl puts forward her second poetry collection – ‘Anachronic Sensibility, ‘ a reflection of therapy sessions inside her head. Every time her life strikes a new intensity, she writes, and she has been writing for a long time now. For as long as she can remember, she has fantasized about putting her story out, and sharing it all with you for you to read, love, and hopefully be comforted from. A desperate call for acceptance of all feelings, past and present, that has spanned a decade and lingered in her ever-lasting, anachronic sensibility.
Book Description..!!
‘I don’t know what it is like to not have deep emotions. Even when I feel nothing, I feel it completely.’ – Sylvia Plath I have too many feelings to be just kept to myself. So I weave them into pretty words, and compliment them with haunted lures. Sharing them with anyone, just one person even, erases any memories of the painful time they stem from. From Aira’s ever-passing ephemeral eudaemonia, we have now arrived at her ever-lasting anachronic sensibility. Tales of lessons that span joy and sorrow alike, these poems are best summarized as the pocketbook of instructions for living her life.
Drawing caution to not losing battles in her naivety and somehow, hesitantly, establishing trust that despite everything, there is still goodness, there is still warmth. A child within takes on an indifferent world, and the pieces of her puzzle snap and heal with every new experience. Struggling to feel at home anywhere, she finally finds it, in herself. Turns out that when you run from most places you go, you really are just running from yourself.
All it takes is a moment of epiphany, in an instant so mundane, on a day so average, of stepping back and taking it all in. Pattern recognition of harm done and undone, the accountability in it all of your self-infliction. An attempt to normalize bad days, they’re not a rare occurrence, despite what the world makes it look like. A little more growth than last time, and a promise to keep going. I hope that you too find a home in these words, somewhere.
Book Presentment..!!
Aira’s “Anachronic Sensibility” is a decent collection of verselets delineating the emotions, Along with the titled poetic work the author added bountiful weaves to the readers. Every presented emotion is a heavily weighed work of hers which has joy, sorrow, and sensibility as an addendum.
Book Prelude..!!
She took utmost care in carrying out divergent fervours through her writing,especially with the native tinge and to establish the let-go mind. Sentimental roller coasters and apathy are keenly plaited in her writing. The key highlight in her writing is the sense of relatability. I am sure readers will see themselves in the shoes of the author while they read this poetry book.
Conclusion..!!
Every poetry is accompanied by a reflective illustration collineating the prose theme. Aira’s attempt at language vocabulary is a standout among the poetic books that I read in recent times. Full marks to her command of the language she presented, and every word/verse is well placed in this poetry for proclaiming the vehement espouse.
