Divided into three chapters, Where the Lotus Blooms explores the natural elements of our world-fire, earth, and water-and unites them with our human experiences.

Told from the voice of a first-generation Canadian woman, this poetry collection is inspired by Neha Chand's life experiences, personal hardships, shedding a light on generational differences and exposing the patriarchy. Through detailed imagery, trauma is brought to life, as is the healing process.

Through evocative lyricism and potent symbols, each poem offers a glimpse into Neha's convictions and shares a piece of her soul. Yet she continuously speaks to our shared experiences and our interconnectedness, encouraging us to bloom just as the lotus does.

It is through Neha's words where our voices are heard and felt:

She might not be your heir She may not rule kingdoms but like the earth she bears your violence like the rain she quenches your thirst

She won't carry your name But she will carry your sins She will hide them in her veil And sacrifice them, in her name

She will heal your ego as she disguises her wounds She will ignite your passions while you succumb to yours

she will raise warriors feed nations birth daughters who will carry her stor
