BOOK REVIEW : 

Some books arrive not as entertainment, but as confessions; quiet voices that demand to be heard. Dr. Anita Kumari’s poetry collection “Prescription for S**cide Note is one such offering: raw, vulnerable, and piercing in its honesty. It feels less like a polished literary artifact and more like a journal cracked open, its pages stained with the truths we rarely dare to admit.

This is not a book that tiptoes around emotions. Instead, it walks straight into the rooms of grief, trauma, and loneliness; yet does so with a sharp wit that disarms. These aren’t sterile “clinical notes” from a doctor’s desk; they are lived experiences, sometimes tender, sometimes unsettling, and often unexpectedly funny in that painfully human way.

The poems carry the rhythm of confessions. In “Prescription for Sui*#de Note”, the voice wrestles with expectations, legacy, and exhaustion; an echo of every overburdened healer who is still expected to show up for rounds at 8 a.m. no matter the chaos within. In “Letter to Mother”, the words are almost unbearable to read, a stark recollection of childhood trauma that strips the page bare. Then comes “Memories”, where pain lingers like an open wound stitched and torn again, reminding us that time doesn’t always heal; it only teaches us new words to articulate old scars.

What stands out most is how the collection balances despair with dark humor. Dr. Kumari doesn’t write from a place of resolution; she writes from the middle of the storm, where contradictions—grief and wit, fragility and strength—coexist. For me, this makes the experience intimate and strangely comforting, as if we’ve been handed permission to sit with our own brokenness without apology.

📖 Why you should read it:

If you’ve ever felt exhausted by expectations, haunted by memories, or silenced by pain, these poems will not only resonate but also crack a reluctant smile through the ache. It’s a book for the romantic, the healthcare worker, the misfit, and anyone carrying invisible battles.
