Life amidst sorrow(Poetry by prisoners)It is a collection of poems written by four women who are put in the famous Tihar Jail. Their thoughts are free even when they are physically imprisoned. This collection is the expression of such thoughts. It is a new way of reading the document of Woman’s Mind.Every woman in this world faces a moment when she has to choose between silence or speech. Where courts slip away completely, authority hesitates, institutions argue and minds tremble, poetry becomes the driving force that sustains the virtue. They become mantras that bubble up in the mind. Such are the poems in this collection.You can hear many broken lullabies in these poems. This world inside the Tihar seeks to come out with all its excellence.To add strength to these poems, some photographs taken by the poets themselves in Prison No. 6 have also been included. The purpose of these photos is to give the readers a minute picture of India’s famous or infamous Tihar Jail.Modeled after Tihar Jail, the book is designed to be all inclusive. It is important that you should take out the poems from the prison before reading them.
