Ink and Aftermath

Ink and Aftermath, a poetry collection, takes a deep dive into the kaleidoscope of emotions that defines teenage years—resilience, pure joy, bittersweet nostalgia, terror, sadness and grief, with a bonus section for the unclassifiable. Be it the electric thrill of happiness, the quiet ache of loss or the creeping tendrils of fear, each poem captures the rawness of growing up. The verses are shared in spirit with anyone who has ever paused to feel deeply, question endlessly or dream wildly. Some are in Latin, with paraphrased English versions ensuring that no one is left out. This isn’t just poetry – it’s a mirror, a conversation and sometimes, a scream into the void.

Ink and Aftermath will help you reflect on your own journey and perhaps give you a whisper of comfort to know that feelings, no matter how fleeting or overwhelming, are what make us beautifully human.
