Poetry book You Are Your Own Home
Shreya Chetry's debut collection weaves together verse, prose, correspondence, and introspective pieces to chart a course through life's fractures. What emerges is something both intimate and universal: a portrait of what happens when you stop searching for belonging elsewhere and start recognising it within yourself. The book traces a winding path from rupture through sorrow, release, and finally, emergence. Yet there's nothing polished or performative here. Chetry writes with genuine vulnerability about the ache of disconnection, the weight of low self-regard, and the scattered feeling of being untethered from one's own existence. What's striking is her refusal to peddle easy answers. Instead, she offers something steadier: small, deliberate acts of self-reclamation that accumulate into something transformative. This isn't about dramatic reinvention. It's quieter than that. It's about the daily choice to turn inward, to honour your own pace, to recognise that healing doesn't announce itself with fanfare. Each page provides a moment of reprieve, a kind of permission slip to those who've felt estranged from themselves. For anyone wrestling with heartbreak, isolation, or the long labour of piecing themselves back together, you'll find kinship here. The home you're after? It's been waiting in you all along.
