ABOUT THE FEATURED POET: Mohua Chinappa is an author, poet, podcaster, and columnist among other things, and a former advertising and PR Professional. Creator and host of the popular "The Mohua Show" with millions of downloads. Mohua has a natural flair for writing and regularly contributes articles to various media spaces. Her latest book is a collection of her poetry book "If Only It Were Spring Everyday" which arose out of the pain and hurt she felt when the world failed their women, the elderly, the prostitute, the poor, the stray, the invalid and children. Mohua has been a speaker on TED X and Josh Talks on women's issues. She is also regularly invited to Literature Forums as a moderator and a speaker. Her next book "A Memoir" is a collection of letters written to her father and is scheduled to be released towards the end of 2024.

Synopsis of the book: "If Only It Were Spring Everyday" The stories that the author collects while working with women pour into a rhythm of expression, honouring the unheard voices. From the garlanding of the criminals of Bilkis Bano to the Manipur violence and the destruction of our Mother Earth as she withers away, Mohua's poetry echoes the truth around us and reflects our collective anger and pain.
