Ink Smudged Dreams- by the Reading Light.

So many of the poems in Debaleena’s book reflect my own life experiences, and encourage us to be kinder to ourselves. Her writing also touches on the damage done to our world today - but offers the promise of future healing. But my absolute favourite poem of all was The Dyer - it just flows - one of the most beautiful, spiritual pieces of writing I have ever read. It will stay with me forever - thank you.
