Purple Riot

Her first collection is Purple Riot and it is about her long lost first love. The underlying theme of this poetry collection is loss though it ventures into the artistry of writing and the concept of time. She experiences being haunted by her lover wherever she is, yet recognizes that parting is required of them as a natural process of life. The poems deal mostly with mutually recognized love that somehow cannot survive in this world. Though they get together, misunderstandings pull them apart and she grieves why exactly they cannot be together in life. But what she considers as special is the fact that she hit upon the fourteen line sonnet form accidentally and has loved it ever since though she is not sure whether she follows the conventions completely. Most of these poems can be considered as her exercises in writing.
