The City of Melancholy

Raw poetry from India's urban shadows: crumbling slums under glass towers, where laborers scaffold exclusion, scarred souls endure, children sift garbage past golden gates. Trembling hands, silent grief, unfair cycles grind on—a theatre of sighs refusing silence. Day changes; melancholy persists. Quiet revolutions rise from the unseen. "A mirror forcing us to see lives we sidestep." Debut collection by Parth Joshi. Perfect for social justice readers, poetry lovers and literature. Confronts poverty, caste, ecological grief. Ideal for book clubs, cultural events, academic courses
