The poems, written within the secret diary of the main character, unfold as heartfelt letters to her father and grandmother. Each poem paints a vivid picture of the emotional restlessness experienced behind the metaphorical Bars. In one, the author grapples with the complexities of friendship, while in another, she transforms into a foe.
The powerful verses like “It is not a goodbye” and “Only moments they owned“, carry an overwhelming emotional weight. The latter poem reflects a universal theme, narrating a story familiar to many homes today – the loss of cherished moments amid fractured relationships. “Moments they owned” encapsulates this sentiment painfully:
“The father lost the daughter and the daughter lost the father, and both lost the only moments they owned.”
Another heart-wrenching poem addressed to the grandmother introduces the character of “She“, a best friend who remains a steadfast companion until the end. The raw emotions conveyed in these verses provide readers with a profound and intimate connection to the narrators innermost thoughts and feelings.
Accompanying the poems are two video trailers available on the authors YouTube channel. One trailer says, “It is not a goodbye“, recounting the final moments with a beloved grandmother. The trailers offer a visual glimpse into the heart of the book, showcasing the emotional depth of the verses.
Moreover, handmade drawings by the author accompany the poems, serving as visual reflections of the personal struggles and victories of the main character. These sketches, direct from the secret diary, further enrich the reading experience, adding a unique and personal touch to the collection.
After The Great Trial series, Medha Pushkarna has once again demonstrated her storytelling prowess. With Words Behind Bars, Medha takes readers on an emotional roller-coaster journey offering a unique perspective through the lens of a deeply personal diary.
