Unburnt is a searing collection of poetry that threads through silence, survival, and selfhood. Written by a 16-year-old South Asian, these poems confront the burden of womanhood, the weight of inheritance, and the ache of loss, with quiet power and sharp clarity.
Divided into three sections — To Be a Woman, Loss Is a Language, and Roar of Rebellion — the collection moves from the suffocating stillness of expectation to the voice that rises despite it. Through cotton fields, stitched mouths, buried fossils, and unlit cigarettes, the poems explore what it means to live inside a body shaped by others, and what it means to claim it back finally.
This is not a story of being burned.
This is a story of refusing to burn.
For readers who have ever been told to stay small, this is your roar.
