Description

Pen touches the page 
Words flow softly like a stream 
Quiet thoughts awake.

Poetry transcends time and space. They make a home in our heart and soul. Haiku poems are Japanese short, three-line poem with a 5-7-5 syllable structure that usually captures a single moment in nature. Nature was the recurring theme in traditional haiku poems. Nowadays they also showcase the everyday life and the world we live in. Haiku Hues by Anamika Mitra brings you haiku poems that appeal to your senses. These haikus are an expression of little things in life that together makes it huge and meaningful. An expression of the experiences, imagination and reflections of the human mind in its varied interpretations of words and forms – the haikus are soul –searching.

The Sea and the Horizon by Nujoom Al-Ghanem is a fascinating mosaic of memory, grief, beauty, and longing through the distilled elegance of Zen-inflected poetry. Inspired by Japanese haikus with a blend of Sufism, this collection traverses the spiritual and emotional landscapes of the self and the world, where each poem becomes a corridor opening onto the different waves of feelings bought by life.

Sacred Unions and Other Stories (Tales from Purvanchal) by Nalin Verma is a collection of stories redolent of the fragrance of rural Bihar. This book is pervaded by experiences of the second-generation men and women of post-independence India living in its remote villages. Nalin Verma offers dramatic spectacle of the complexities of human relationships by grounding his stories of romance, love and kinship in rural sensibilities. The result is a collection of stories that candidly approach the rural milieu to highlight class, caste and religious divides while exploring the many facets of love and belongingness.

The September Book Box 2026 brings to you two poetry books and one book of short stories. You also get 3 lovely merch items along with the books. The blend of stories and poems will give you a great way to enjoy the last of the rainy season and the free time at hand before the festive season begins!
