A press note states: “Aruhan, her 4th collection is the compilation of poems published in various Tamil literary magazines. Neither intricate nor obscure, these poems do not pronounce any message to the society, but share a deep, poignant, human voice in a simple and lucid style expressing the psyche of a poetic mind. Anxiety, anguish, apprehension and helplessness – are the undercurrent emotions in them. Of 112 pages, the book is priced at Rs. 110.”
On her compilation, the author said: “My poems are from the onlooker’s perspective who views the changing scenarios of the society with keen concern for the humankind struggling selfishly wild for survival, with a modern outlook. They expose my anguish and helplessness over the growing disparity and heartlessness of the society losing its innate humaneness, the great quality that distinguishes us from the wild beasts.”
