Description
I want to write / Something that you will believe / Something that’s more than these words
And
does she ever. Poet DIYA DAS illuminates six years of adolescence
through her introspective verse. Diya’s first artistic musings are young
and playful. As her inner landscape develops, themes become more
complex as she ponders the contradictory nature of life.
I spend my life on the fence / Between who you think I am and who I always was
Lines like these crystallize the transformation of young girl into
mature woman. As Diya begins to shape the foundation of her character,
she takes an active role choosing what she will retain from childhood
and what she will discard. With each poetic endeavor, her creativity is
sharpened through the increased depth of her day-to-day experiences.
I’ll see you tomorrow / And again and again / Sometime in eternity / I
don’t know when / But that’s where you’ll find me / When tomorrow comes
again
The portrait of Diya as an artist comes into focus
as she grasps the transcendent power inherent in the written word. Her
teenage self eternally resides in these pages.
