_**About the Author**_
 Smruthi Bala Kannan was born in Chennai in 1991. At present,
she is pursuing an integrated Master’s degree in English Studies at the Department
of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology (Madras). This
is her first collection of poetry.

_**About the Book:**_
 In her first book of poetry, Smruthi displays a maturity 
far beyond her age. One is struck by the simplicity of her expression, her assimilation
and analysis of experiences and her sensitive attention to detail.

_**Teaser**_

_Molten_

There are thoughts,
 that you scoop out of yourself, leaving behind gnawing a cavity,
and some others that you tuck off to sleep. It is those few moments, by the left
side window seat of a local bus; a gentle gush of wind; a strand of hair tickling
your eyebrow; that melt you into a certain anonymity. Only those gnawing cavities
and waking thoughts attempt to live with a certain significant other.
