Memory Rain, her first collection of poems, was published in 2008. Her second book Nature at My Doorstep( 2011) is a compilation of her poems, musings, sketches and paintings. Latha in her poignant outpouring Vernal Strokes, reaches the hearts of the readers, awakening them to a world of beauty and anguish. Ecstasy and agony dwell hand in hand with each other; yet the quest does not end there – her words are a mirror to the world of the lonely, the sick and the suffering. She draws us into her universe which is easy to identify with and be a part of. Her poems reflect a candour and transparency which can shock the readers out of their apathy. In this era of haste and race against one another and time, her poems are a refreshing mirror into life in all its myriad forgotten forms – the small and the simple are brought before us; gripping in their reality. Vernal Strokes is a clarion call to the reader to wake up to a world that soothes, reminds and nourishes with beauty, pain, and hope. A close friend of nature, Latha shares her unhappiness in humanity’s disregard for mother earth. To those of us ‘deafened by the roar of materialistic living’ these poems bring hope. She paints her ‘magic in the air’ with her words – a magic that does not disappear, but lingers within the reader.weniger sehen
