Author Deblina Bhattacharya’s latest anthology ‘My Black Rose’ recently hit bookstores across India and has already been making waves. Published by Mithaas Publishers, the book is a collection of poetry that walks readers through Deblina’s life journey. It can best be described as a poetic tale narrating how experiencing failures motivated the young poet to keep moving forward.

Encouraged by the overwhelming success of her maiden book ‘Knots’, Deblina decided that she wanted to inspire young adults across India by sharing key defining moments from her journey. The poems in ‘My Black Rose’ capture the basic essence of the journey of life, which is to not give up in the face of failure and obstacles. The poems seamlessly guide readers through Deblina’s journey of despair and hope, encapsulating the ebb and flow of the tides of life. At its core, ‘My Black Rose’ is a rendition of hope.

“Hope, in my eyes, is a beautiful thing. And if there is one thing this world needs, especially in times like this, it is hope. Through my poems, I aim to share my journey of ups and downs, and how the power of hope got me through it all. Hopefully, these poems will inspire my readers, some of whom may be going through tough times of their own, to seek to find a light,” said Deblina, speaking on her latest launch.

Speaking on her online engagement with her followers, Deblina said “My social media has really allowed me to connect, and engage with my audience on a more personal level. Having interacted with a lot of them for so long has really opened my eyes to how so many people struggle to get through their days. My journey and experiences have allowed me to understand, and empathize with these people, showing them that they aren’t alone, and they never will be. Through ‘My Black Rose’, I aim to spread a message of hope to all my followers, and to all the people who shared their stories with me. There will always be a light.”
