Heather - Paperback

by Jasna Usman (Author)

The poetry collection HEATHER is divided into three chapters. 'THE RISING, THE SETTING AND THE ECLIPSE'. These chapters are actual metaphors to the twenty three years of a woman. 'The rising' is about growing up as a girl, her insecurities, family and the problems she faced through the ages. 'The setting' is about her love life. It talks about falling in love, expectations, failures, changing beliefs, parting, and the thirst for more. The last chapter 'And the eclipse' is about post love life and the acceptance of realities. It speaks of the trauma, the loneliness, the never ending torment of illusions and nightmares that she had to go through. Afterwards this chapter shows how she move on and grow into this young independent woman focussing on her dreams and living them. Besides narrating the story, this book also takes the reader's mind through the hardships; from 'questioning the very existence to finding her path to life'.
