In this debut poetry collection, Vineetha Mekkoth comes across as ‘a spirit untamed and free’, rearing to soar up unbounded, dreaming endlessly. Hers is a vibrant poetic voice, exquisitely sensitive too, which exhilarates, enchants and edifies. Her delicate linguistic craftsmanship leaves the reader with a lingering fragrance of a handful of joy, a pinch of salty tears and laughter, making the reader crave for more and more. 

- Dr Santosh Bakaya, Author of Ballad of Bapu, Where Are The Lilacs? and Flights From My Terrace

Vineetha Mekkoth’s poems delve into experiences with intensity and perceptiveness, analyzing them with sensitivity and with an elegance of language and lyricism that leaves the reader breathless.
