As the world around us transpose: shifts rapidly , Reinvention explores the darker side of growing up. Can we preserve our identity, while building a family? What sacrifices do we have to make for success? Can we have it all- and keep it?
Natasha wrote Reinvention after moving back to India after ten years. Natasha's first collection of poems, Boundless captured her search for her own identity, as she experimented with geographies, and built her career. With Reinvention, written after her return to India after a decade-long stint overseas she attempts to reconnect with her roots.
If Boundless was about finding your voice, then Reinvention is about making it heard. The sharpness and honesty of the poems will resonate with you long after you've read them. Especially, now, in a post-pandemic world, where change is the only constant.
Review :
Every single poem was breath taking. I took my time reading this, choosing the savor the succulent, vivid, tactile words. Spanning over 89 pages. Each line is a feeling. Natasha Malpani Oswal is one of my favourite poets. She writes simple lines and paint beautiful pictures. The language of the book simple. The cover of the book is beautiful same like the poems. The book is divided into 9 chapters.
Freedom
Driven
Sparkle
Princess
Settle
Restless
Longings
Ripe
Ties
All the poems are deceptively simple and absolutely beautiful. Read it in one sitting which I will definitely do again. Highly recommend.
