16-yr old Arya Dharod launches “Silent Ripples” an anthology of contemporary reflective poetry

Published

on

Arya Dharod (age 16) has launched an anthology of free verse poetry.

The set contains 3 books with over 400 poems and 100 haikus spanning diverse topics touching upon life’s varied insights and reflections.

In Arya’s own words, “A fleeting thought, a sudden realization, a reflection on an aspect of my own existence …… all coming to life in the form of poetry. I have titled this entire repository of my poetry “Silent Ripples”. A silent, subtle ripple in the pond may not be noticeable at first. In just a few seconds, it spreads over the surface of the entire pond, and for a fleeting moment blurs and transforms any reflection staring into the body of water. In essence, that is what poetry, indeed most writing is. Profound and powerful enough to inspire, move and question us from within. In my own simple, subtle ways, through my writing, I wish to ignite sparks for a beautiful life and enriching soul journey for each one of us.”

A look inside:

Soul’s Journey: Is a deep look inward and outward; a journey of self-discovery. The poems cover a breathtaking array of themes with perspectives on experiences and life lessons. From profound concepts like repentance and life choices to the core values needed for life, a sense of wonder, motivation and self-identity, the book is a powerhouse of insights.

Nature’s Wonder: “If you are tired of just existing, and want to truly start living, open up your senses and heart, look deep but not too far … at this marvelous blue planet of ours”, is Arya’s inspiring invitation to readers. The book is a refreshing look at Creation through fresh eyes; turning the mundane into the miraculous. Arya explores themes like the seasons, nature’s diverse creations and colors, seasons, life’s true calling we can draw from nature, the blessing of food, diversity of creatures in our environment, the duality of nature and its joys.
