ABOUT THIS BOOK

Candy Floss explores family, media, the rise and ebb of juvenile emotions and most significantly, the subtle realization of feminine identity in an urban setting. The text is an insight into the mind of a waning adolescent, constructed in modern free verse, indicating the influence of Arvind Krishna Mehrotra, Robert Frost, Wendy Cope, Ranjit Hoskoté, William Carlos Williams and Carol Ann Duffy. Candy Flossis lined with optimism and mischief, deliberately leaving a train of uncertainty in opinion and identifiable confusion as the writer matures, while discarding a trail of unanswered questions and unresolved angst. However, the writer looks at
her world as it is and pompously grieves for it.
