Mother Mangalam's book of poems


Poet at heart: Mother Mangalam channels her frustrations and anger into poetry.

Dew Drops On A Lily Pad records her thoughts and emotions.

Everyone has an outlet to release frustrations and for Mother A. Mangalam, it’s writing poetry. “There are many things I’m unable to express in a platform to blow it out of my system so I put my anger into writing. The irony is that as a child, my memory for poetry was hopeless,” she says, laughing.
