Between Ink and Skin

Between Ink and Skin is a deeply personal collection of poems exploring identity, memory, womanhood, and the quiet rebellions of everyday life. With language both tender and unflinching, Drishti Dutta writes of inherited silences, body image, love lost and reclaimed, political grief, and the tension between survival and selfhood. Drawing from lived experience and emotional landscapes, each poem is a moment held up to the light-honest, raw, and resonant. From the intimate to the universal, this debut collection invites readers to pause, feel, and remember what it means to belong-to a body, a voice, a story.
