About the Book:
In her first collection of poetry, Shobhana displays a remarkable capacity for introspection and self-reflection. Her poems are deeply layered, nuanced and insightful and exemplify her rich understanding of the elements that make up our life and worlds.
In his introduction to the book, Justice V. R. Krishna Iyer, a former judge of the Supreme Court of India remarks:
“The Voices Never Stop is a quiet poetic journey into the inner recesses of the spirit that drives man and woman alike. The inner voices comprehensible only to the spirit of oneself dance in rejoice of love, accentuate the belongingness, render the loss less unbearable and console the self… and strengthen the iron determination to wither away the wild winds and give shape and size to brilliant hope, carrying the candlelight till the last breath.”
