Woven Reflections of Poems, Stories and Plays (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781645606475)

This is a book of poems, stories, and plays. The texts that comprise this volume are a product of moments of our life: times looking back, times to search for, and times of change. However, these do not stand alone; they speak to each other within a layered experience unfolding across various formats.

We chose to begin with poetry because it captures a moment: the raw emotion, the flash of a thought often in the most distilled way. It can be a whisper, a shout, or a quiet realization that beckons the reader to interpret it in their own way. But sometimes, a moment needs more than that - it needs more context, more depth, and space to breathe.

That's where the short stories come into play, to be able to continue the themes developed in the poem and give a narrative slant to them. One will see the emergence of characters, and settings defined.

And then the plays. The way people talk, the spaces between, and the tension of what is never said have always interested us. Writing the stories into scripts seemed the natural step, allowing them to be articulated and performed and to live from the page. The transition from poetry to prose to stage was a way for me to experiment with perspective, structure, and voice.

For us, writing has always been about finding the right form to express an idea. Some thoughts are best left as poetry, others need to be lived through a story, and some are meant to be spoken out loud, felt in the rhythm of conversation. This book is a collection of those choices-a reflection of how words can shape and reshape meaning depending on how they are framed.

We hope you like reading this book as much as we did writing it.
