Songs From the Saffron Valley spans over 8 years and chronicles the journey from the mountains of Kashmir to the plains of the cities where the author has lived, from the violence at home, and the heartbreak when leaving it, to finding home in a new place and making it one's own. The poems are an ode to this journey and explore themes of happiness, love, heartbreak, loss, grief, death and many other emotions that are part of this journey.
The poetry will resonate with anyone who has felt the flutters of first love in their stomach, the pain that comes with the first heartbreak, the loss that surrounds you on the loss of a loved one, the grief, the helplessness of leaving home and many other emotions.
The book has been divided into four chapters. Chinar tells the tales of violence in the valley. White Lilies chronicles the experiences of first love and the happiness and excitement that accompanies it. Cyclamens tells tales of goodbyes and heartbreak. Forget-Me-Nots and Winter Blossoms explore in detail the feelings of loss, grief and death.
