Mumbai-based Author Kriti Edwankar Releases Debut Poetry
Book
The Flower That Spoke to Me: Love, Life and Little Things
Release Date: 18th February 2026
Mumbai-based author Kriti Edwankar announces the release of
her debut poetry book, The Flower That Spoke to Me: Love, Life and Little
Things, a collection of thirty poems paired with black and white
photographs.
The book brings together close observations drawn from
everyday life, shaped by nature, travel, animals, femininity and emotional
exchanges between humans and the world around them. Each poem is paired with a
photograph, allowing language and image to exist in a shared, reflective space.
The poems stay close to small, familiar details: light
resting on walls, trees moving in the wind, corners of homes, passing
encounters and feelings observed long enough to be understood. “Everything is
poetic if you stay long enough to notice it,” says Kriti. Together, the poems
and photographs form a paired experience. “What begins as a photograph becomes
a memory, and what begins as a feeling becomes poetry, holding traces of a
moment that might otherwise slip away,” she adds.
About Kriti Edwankar
The Flower That Spoke to Me marks Edwankar’s first published
poetry collection. She is a Mumbai-based author, filmmaker, creative director
and the founder of the production company Pencils & Frames. Her work spans
music videos, digital advertising and narrative storytelling. Last year, she
directed her debut short film Surajmukhi, which is currently touring film
festivals across India and internationally.
At its heart, The Flower That Spoke to Me is an invitation
to pause and draw personal parallels between oneself and the natural world,
offering readers space to move through the book at their own pace. “I hope
readers take something back with them,” Kriti adds, “the way I took something
from the flower that spoke to me.”
