Poetry – Quote by Anita Bacha

I didn’t choose poetry, poetry chose me.

Anita Bacha.

I started to write poetry at the age of eleven and I have continued to do so for decades till today, having survived both breast cancer and the pandemic.

A few years ago, aging and a gradual and sudden worsening of my physiological condition hit me very hard. I thought I would give up poetry and writing altogether and seek refuge in gardening.

Poetry called me. I attended the Jaipur Literary Festival 2025 with my son Toshu . He followed me out of love.

I realized how a fortunate mother I was when I slipped and fell under the shower and Toshu rushed to my rescue. Diagnosed with severe injuries in the right shoulder, I spent the rest of my stay in Jaipur in a hotel room bed with a quill and with the passion of my life, my poetry.

Reading loud from my book of short poems Leaves cc. Anita Bacha.

Many thanks for spending some of your precious time with me, dear friends and readers.

Anita

The Princess and the Crow is my first storybook for children, released by Austin Macauley Publishers London in March 2019. Two years later, I was inspired to write and published two other books - WAKASHIO, a storybook for children, and PINK MOON - AN ANTHOLOGY OF HAIKU POEMS. I love to write. I guess my writing has a special cliché of island 🌴 life, natural, unpretentious, and full of beauty.
