Days of Recovery Poems

'Nomita's poems are a testament to the human spirit's capacity to heal and find meaning. Being a cancer survivor myself, her words resonate deeply with me. The courage to share her thoughts and vulnerabilities touched my heart; her poems will give great insight and hope to many.'-Nafisa Ali When cancer brought Nomita Kapur's 'active days to a halt', her universe shifted, without warning. Gradually, over months, she found her balance again, a different, deeper balance. From that pause-'a deeply reflective space' that helped her reclaim her life, and understand the true meaning of recovery-emerged the poems collected in this quietly remarkable book. In sharing her experience and the discoveries she made, she empowers us with this collection; for, in our different ways, we are all in recovery. '[Days of Recovery] will help anyone connect themselves with the perennial truth: life is precious; knowing in what sense it is precious is a big achievement; not knowing is a big loss.'-Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, Chairman & Spiritual Head, Himalayan Institute 'We all have two citizenships, Susan Sontag reminds us: in the land of health and in its dark twin. Nomita Kapur brings us despatches from both. This is a journey of discovery that will move you. A journey of recovery that may empower you.'-Jerry Pinto
