Pandora's Poetry Keerti Gupta

Pandora was told that the box was dangerous, menacing, and evil. But here's what she wasn't told--it isn't the box that is dangerous; it's the idea of locking up its insides that is. Taboo and stigma have conquered the narrative of womanhood to such an extent that women often feel devoid of their own qualities. Pandora's Poetry is a collection of poems that aims to unleash the truths of womanhood in an unapologetically authentic manner. Embedded with Indian context, and constantly borrowing elements from other cultures, this collection of poetry explores menstruation, patriarchy, abuse, body image, toxic masculinity, and resilience with beacons of hope and unyielding power. Open the box and be amazed by the liberation you'll find sedentarily sleeping within its interiors.
