Description

ABOUT THE BOOK

A collection of poems about the thoughts one has when they’ve got too much time to themselves, “12:37” is an amalgamation of everything the poet has felt over the past 5 years. From themes of romance and sadness to thoughts of identity and hope, this anthology is a reflection of what it’s like to be a hapless teenager in the modern age.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Iti Pawar is a queer, Indian, and hard of hearing high school student. Born in Chicago and raised in Mumbai, she spends every waking moment thinking about who she is and how her mind works. She expresses these thoughts through poetry and prose, aptly fitting the meaning of her name – “the beginning of a new chapter.” She writes for the unseen people, the ones who feel far too othered to think they could ever belong. Love lies in the hollow of her bones as words swim through her bloodstream, the two entangling to create her debut collection, “12:37.”
