Rudra by Abirami P. Kurukkal (PDF Version)
About the Book
Rudra is about the destruction of self-hate and stigma. It is about resurrecting ourselves from the chains of self-doubt and freeing our voices from eternal silence. It is a manifestation of courage. The poems explore the depth of the importance of self-care and discuss the rebirth of resilience, a mission to rescue souls almost drowning in their rivers of desperation, anxiety, pain, and depression. This book hopes to serve as a reminder that we are not here to be repressed. We are here to roar.
