Of Butterflies & Bees

In “Of Butterflies & Bees,” Ketaki invites you into a garden of memory, myth, and spirit… where each flower tells a story. Through twenty-one lyrical poems, this collection breathes life into native blooms like jasmine, hibiscus, gulmohar and bougainvillea, transforming them into voices of longing, resilience, and forgotten wisdom. Written in a voice of both intimate and elemental, these poems travel through courtyards, silent groves, and wild places of the soul. They honour the sacred language of nature— the one understood by butterflies, bees, and those who remember how to listen. A tender offering for lovers of poetry, ecology, and stories rooted in earth and spirit.
