A SHADOW OF MEMORIES (HB)

In A Shadow of Memories,
Tripti Bhatt reminds us that memories are all that survives from our past.
Who we are today is a result of our experiences and memories. The new
memories we create every moment dissolve into those from the past and become
a permanent part of our persona. It’s these memories—those of hope, love,
loss, transience, among many others—that are captured beautifully and
poignantly in this collection of poems by Tripti Bhatt. A young officer of
the Indian Police Service, Tripti’s love for poetry dates back to her school
days. Her poems reflect a sense of nostalgia and melancholy and she writes on
a wide variety of themes, including life, emotions, youth, achievement, and
all that she considers significant. The symbolism in her writing is
unmistakable and everlasting. While Tripti’s voice is representative of a
generation that is grappling with the paradoxes of modern day life and the
temporariness it brings forth, this passionate and moving collection will
resonate with readers across generations.
