Description
Sour But Not Bitter is Archa Krishnan’s luminous testament to the fierce, trembling, salt-sweet labour of being a woman and becoming a mother. Across sixty-five poems, she gathers the small wounds and glowing wonders of everyday life—jaggery-scented memories, thread-fine fears, womb-deep ache, the soft astonishment of a newborn breath—and spins them into a tapestry of resilience. In these pages, tenderness is not fragile; it is chiselled. Pain does not harden; it softens into wisdom. Love is a wick that lights itself even in famine-seasons of the soul. This is a book for anyone who has ever carried a life, a memory, or a dream carefully stitched to the heart— Sour at times, yes, but never bitter. – Deepa Lekshmi Prakash (Research scholar, Poet, Actor and Independent Film Maker)
