Monsoon Magic - A Poetry Anthology

In association with The Bookoholics, we are launching an anthology to immortalise the season of Monsoon and how it wrecks havoc in our lives, both in amazing and tragic ways.

The magic of monsoon is different for different people. It can let you soar over the storm clouds, or bury you deep within the earth where the raindrops fall in exquisite patter. It can make you feel lonely even in a crowd. It can make you feel complete in just your own little bubble. It can be enchanting. It can be devastating. It can be the smell of masala chai. It can be the feel of the wrinkly old paper in between your fingers from the novel you are reading.

That is the allure of the monsoon, it is different for every person. So, tell us through your poems about YOUR Monsoon Magic.

Let your hearts guide your pen on this one.
