This collection of poetry and prose isn’t just about reading words—it’s about feeling them. Each piece takes you on a journey through love, healing, and finding strength within yourself. Goswami’s writing feels like a heartfelt conversation, where every page invites you to reflect on your own experiences.

Meenakshi Goswami may be new to the literary world, but her voice is far from inexperienced. She brings a deep emotional intelligence to her writing, capturing those moments in life when we feel most human. You can tell her words come from a place of genuine understanding, which makes her collection feel all the more personal.
What really makes Home In Words stand out is the way it blends poetry and prose so seamlessly. It’s not just about reading a poem or a short piece—it’s about going on an emotional journey. The way Goswami builds feelings of hope, strength, and love from the ground up is incredibly unique. You don’t just read this book—you experience it.
The beauty of this collection is that it doesn’t rely on fictional characters; instead, it speaks to the characters inside all of us. Themes of love, healing, and self-growth are at the heart of every piece. Whether you’ve struggled with heartbreak or found yourself on the path to self-love, you’ll see yourself in these words. It’s like the author is holding up a mirror, reflecting all the emotions we often keep hidden.
One moment in the book that truly made me pause was the idea that we don't build our homes with bricks, but through the memories we create by sharing and connecting with others. This concept hit home for me—quite literally! It’s a beautiful reminder that the essence of ‘home’ isn’t tied to a physical place, but to the people we love and the moments we hold dear. This insight felt deeply personal, offering a sense of comfort and perspective that lingered long after I closed the book. It’s these reflections that give the collection its heartfelt touch.
The strongest part of this collection is its emotional accessibility. You don’t need to be a poetry expert to feel what Goswami is trying to say. Her writing is like a soft landing for anyone who needs it. The only thing I could say is that some might crave a bit more variety in tone—if you’re looking for something with sharp twists, this may not be it. But honestly, that’s part of what makes this book feel so comforting.
Home In Words left me feeling like I’d just had a long chat with someone who’s been through the same emotional highs and lows. The line about building homes with memories stayed with me—it's such a beautiful reminder of what really matters. If you need a moment of peace, a book that feels like a warm hug, you’ll find it here.
