Title: Vilomah
Genre: Poetry
Review:
This is a powerful and heartbreaking collection of poems. The word “Vilomah” itself means a parent who has lost a child—a painful role no one ever wants to have. Through this book, the author opens up about her own personal tragedy: the loss of her child due to homicide. Each poem in the collection is filled with raw emotion—you can feel the anger, sadness, confusion, and the deep longing of a mother who is trying to make sense of a world without her child. But at the same time, there’s also strength, love, and a quiet message of resilience.
The poems are written in simple yet impactful language. They don’t try to hide the pain. Instead, they make you feel every moment of it. This honesty is what makes the book so touching. Whether or not you’ve faced such a loss, you can’t help but feel connected to the poet’s journey. This is not just a book about grief. It’s also a book about healing. It reminds us that while pain never really goes away, it’s possible to keep going, to hold on to memories, and to keep loving, even in the face of loss. It gives a voice to those who feel silenced by grief and creates a space where sorrow is understood and respected. It’s not just a book of poems—it’s a heart opened wide.
