The themes are an outcome of a mindscape cultured by patience, understanding and acceptance of the inevitability of change and the necessity to overcome and move on. In the poem 'I See a Woman', she exhorts the patriarchal society to redefine the idea of a woman. There is a tinge of nostalgia for times gone by, times that were dictated by man as well as by the universe. A few are written in memory of the author's father, who was the driving force behind her desire to become a writer. Having been both a student and then a teacher of the English language and literature at the college level, many classical English poets have had influence over her writing. After a decade of writing she believes that she has discovered her voice and reinvented her own style of expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 82\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.17 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 20, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67857869111603,"sku":"9789363310162","price":21.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/r1Txfd8Etl9789363310162.webp?v=1793572349","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-park-bench-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
