BOOK REVIEW : 

Some books whisper instead of shouting. “Nothing Owed To Everything” by Ishwariya Gopi is one such whisper; tender, haunting, and quietly revolutionary.

This collection reads less like a book of poems and more like fragments of a woman’s soul stitched together with rhythm and resilience. Gopi traces the journey of a young Indian girl who runs away at sixteen; a girl who learns to build herself from the remnants of heartbreaks, train rides, and hostel nights. Her words are unadorned, but they linger like old scars that never quite fade.

Each poem stands as a chapter of growth: the ache of leaving home, the courage of solitude, and the serenity that follows self-acceptance. 

The author writes with the clarity of someone who has lived through her own storms. Her verses balance fragility and fire; soft-spoken yet unflinchingly honest. There’s a profound universality to her journey; you don’t just read these poems, you inhabit them.

The book’s dedication, “To women, who left everything to find themselves”, sets the tone for what follows: a reclamation of identity, voice, and quiet strength.

If you’ve ever felt lost in your twenties, misunderstood, or on the edge of starting over, Nothing Owed To Everything will find you. It’s a collection that doesn’t demand to be understood; it simply asks to be felt.

Lastly, I would like to say that Ishwariya’s poetry is an ode to becoming; raw, reflective, and deeply human. It reminds us that we owe nothing to the world except the truth of who we are.
