Vibha Malhotra’s book of prose poetry, titled Loveflakes: Memories of Mirages, published by Hawakal Publishers, was launched on April 30th at Kunzum Bookstore, Basant Lok, Vasant Vihar. Eminent poet and recipient of the 2018 Tagore Literary Prize, Kiriti Sengupta, introduced and initiated the event. Editor and Theatre Artist Somudranil Sarkar initiated the conversation with Vibha about her creative process and her thoughts on accessibility or inaccessibility of poems. The discussion also veered around the choice of the topic – ‘Love’ – in times when people are increasingly using poetry to raise questions about the current state of affairs.

About Loveflakes
Loveflakes leads you through the maze of fleeting emotions one goes through while experiencing love. This collection of heartfelt reflections explores love as the prism through which we can hope to decrypt our connection with the infinity. Through its short verses and prose poems, this book celebrates love as the monad of the ever-expanding Universes — the invisible force that keeps cells, molecules, human beings, solar systems, and galaxies from falling apart.
Early praise for Loveflakes:
One might think that Vibha Malhotra’s book Loveflakes
comes at a time in history when our planet is in pain and needs such words.
That is true. But her words on love are timeless. With each passage, the
reader's heart reconnects and relives some distant situation, awakening a
remembrance that softens the heart and refills its boundless capacity for love.
Love is many things, and as you read this beautiful compilation of insights, it
will change you. Everyone is guaranteed to find themselves on these pages. — Kathryn Brettell (Author and Editor)
Vibha walks like a trapeze artist, the tight rope of love through these poems. She brings the bitter sweet sensoria of love alive by moving in, out and away from one type or love. She allows love to ask questions, probe beneath the surface of the tingled skin, stay centered, move through unchartered paths, stay fearful and eager! — Kashiana in her foreword for Loveflakes, Poet and TEDx speaker
