About the book
What is the book about?
The book is composed by me to inspire everyone to participate against the environmental degradation and to advocate for mother environment. The main purpose of the book is to raise awareness and awake everyone’s mind to save our earth from the clutches of danger through different poetic styles. As this is us, who have the responsibility on our sleeves to save our Mother Earth.
When did you start writing the book?
I have started writing the book in March 2026 and for the whole month, I have written, typed and edited the book and lastly it published on 29th April, 2026.
How long did it take you to write it?
Half of February to think about the book and the whole March month for writing, editing and typing the book. So, I took one and a half months to write the book.
Where did you get the idea from?
After exploring so much destructions on the internet and in my real life experiences, I determined to write this book and got this idea.
Were there any parts of the book where you struggled?
There are different types of poetic styles in the poetry book. Sometimes, I struggled while finding appropriate syllables in Haikus, sometimes, I faced a great deal of line issues in Tetractys but at the end, I loved to write this book.
What came easily?
Well, actually the idea to write the book came easily.
How was writing this book different from what you’d experienced writing previous books?
Previously, I have written about mental health, self compassion, articles about improving lifestyle or just in the praise of Mother nature and human lives but this is my first environmental awareness poetry book.
What new things did you learn about writing, publishing, and/or yourself while writing and preparing this book for publication?
I felt that I became more attached with mother nature, emotions of animals and entered into a bond or connection between a human and mother nature like a son or daughter under his or her mother’s affection
