Suniti Varshney – Winner of the 21st Century Emily Dickinson Award

जज़्बात: दिल की जुबां” – Suniti Varshney’s Tender Exploration of Love, Longing, and Womanhood

When poetry is born from a woman’s heart—weathered by love, separation, and inner strength—it becomes something more than art. It becomes a heartbeat. Suniti Varshney’s जज़्बात: दिल की जुबां is precisely that: a poetic pulse, echoing the silent emotions many feel but few dare to voice.

Winner of the 21st Century Emily Dickinson Award, Suniti’s collection is a lyrical tapestry woven with the threads of vulnerability, desire, and feminine resilience. Each poem in this deeply personal anthology is a whisper from the soul of a woman—once a lover, always a fighter, and eternally human.

जज़्बात: दिल की जुबां is not merely a collection of verses—it’s a diary of the heart. From the trembling first touches of love to the lonely echoes of separation, Suniti’s poetry captures the full arc of emotional intimacy. Her words are raw yet graceful, tender yet unflinching, and filled with the soft ache of memories that refuse to fade.

“The poems are born from my journey as a woman navigating love and life,” Suniti shares. “They reflect my struggles, my strength, and above all, my undying hope.” That hope is stitched into every line—whether she writes of heartbreak or healing, her voice always carries the resilience of someone who refused to stay broken.

Her poetic expressions are steeped in sensitivity, yet their impact is powerful. The collection flows like a river—sometimes calm, sometimes stormy—but always nourishing. The title, जज़्बात: दिल की जुबां, is a perfect encapsulation of the book’s essence: these are not just poems; they are the very language of the heart.

What makes Suniti’s writing so magnetic is her honesty. She doesn’t hide behind metaphors—she steps into the light and tells her truth. Her readers feel seen, held, and understood. It’s this emotional authenticity that earned her recognition from the Emily Dickinson Award committee, who praised her for “capturing the complexities of womanhood with grace and emotional clarity.”

Through her poetry, Suniti offers companionship to anyone walking the tightrope of love and loss. She speaks for the silent, cries for the quiet, and celebrates the subtle power of emotional expression.

If you’ve ever loved deeply, hurt silently, or searched for healing through words, जज़्बात: दिल की जुबां is a book that will stay with you long after the final page. It’s not just a collection of poems—it’s a mirror, a hug, and sometimes, a much-needed release.
