Overview

Bestselling poet, writer, and Instagram sensation Nikita Gill returns with a collection of poetry and prose exploring Hindu mythology and legend.

With her signature prose and striking verse, beloved poet Nikita Gill draws from the myriad of gods and goddesses of Hindu mythology to explore the striking complexity and rich diversity of its most powerful deities. We'll meet Kali, the goddess of death and time who is also a strong mother figure; Saraswati, the goddess of learning, without whom we are only chaos and confusion; Parvati, goddess of love, power, and renewal, who can embody many forms when her emotions overtake her. As Gill masterfully reimagines these deities that have shaped, and shaken, our world, readers will be asked to question and interrogate their own traditional views and expectations, and will encounter a version of beloved myths unlike any they've seen before.

Complete with beautiful hand-drawn illustrations, these pieces weave old and forgotten tales of might and love into an empowering collection for the modern woman.
