I have had the fortune of seeing this magic occur when languages such as Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Hindi\/Urdu and Tamil were fused with English to make an epic poem that bridges the cultural divide we often encounter. As a Telugu-American, I have always dreamed of doing the same for my own ancestral language and today, I'm proud to say that I finally accomplished it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLinguistic Therapy is a poetry book that uses a regional Indian language, Telugu, as a lens through which I explore topics such as immigration, cultural identity, food, family, the covid-19 pandemic, heartbreak, grief and ultimately, healing. Through the process of learning 50 new Telugu words, you'll see a glimpse into the role language and vocabulary play in our life at an emotional, psychological and spiritual level. Each word comes with its own emotion, story and experience. This book was written in one of my darkest times as I was working on processing my emotions and lessons I learned through therapy. I hope it brings peace to you, potential reader, the same way it gave me peace working on it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lekhya Bellamkonda, Krishna Narra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8841399457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798841399452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.13d","brand":"Lekhya Bellamkonda","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44410660815103,"sku":"9798841399452","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9cdf1411-c641-41b3-bd10-08f6a7c47814.jpg?v=1697537196","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/linguistic-therapy-lekhya-bellamkonda-9798841399452","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
