Publisher's Synopsis
In his powerful debut collection, The Impulsive Poets (Raju Koushik Gorantla) offers a deeply personal yet universal exploration of emotion, memory, and meaning. Written in the wake of loss and shaped by longing, these poems trace the delicate line between rebellion and surrender, love and loneliness, freedom and fate.
From the raw vulnerability of heartbreak to the quiet strength found in solitude, Between Shadows and Light captures what it means to feel deeply in a world that often asks us to stay numb. Through striking imagery and lyrical honesty, the collection invites readers to sit with discomfort, to find beauty in contradiction, and to make peace with the chaos within.
Structured across four chapters, the book mirrors a journey-through fire, desire, fragility, and ultimately, purpose. Each page serves as both a mirror and a window: reflecting the poet's own struggles while opening space for the reader's own.
For anyone who's ever stood at the edge of something-grief, growth, or great love-this collection is a companion. A hand on your shoulder. A voice in the quiet.
