About the book

Somewhere between the ache of longing and the hush of acceptance, between what lingers and what lets go, lives a space where the shadow touches the soul.

Inspired by Pablo Neruda’s immortal verse, this evocative collection of sixty-one poems delves into the tangled threads of love, life, and loss-three elemental forces that define the human experience. Just as shadow and soul coexist-distinct yet inseparable-so too love and loss, shaping our emotional landscape.

Raw, lyrical, and deeply intimate, these poems serve as a mirror to our inner world, capturing the full arc of human emotion. Each poem is a soft exhale, a pause between heartbeats, a whisper left behind by memory. From passion to heartbreak, reflection to resilience, this collection invites you to sit with your feelings, to see yourself in its verses, and to find beauty, even in sorrow.

About Sonal Singh

An author, storyteller, and full-time observer of life’s glorious absurdities. I write humour-laced stories where chaos wears fluffy fur, emotions arrive uninvited, and middle-class Indian households become ecosystems of drama, love, and unsolicited advice. Armed with sarcasm, caffeine, and alarming emotional attachment to stray creatures, I believe compassion is less of a virtue and more of a lifestyle disorder. One that I embrace. When I’m not writing, I’m usually busy running a full-time HR consultancy business, rescuing animals, or trying to maintain dignity while being emotionally manipulated by my pets. Through my literary work, I try to blend humour with heart, celebrating the messy coexistence of humans and non-humans in modern urban India.
