Exclusive interview with the author

Q: What Inspired You To Write This Book?

A: Of what was love” is the quiet question, that I faced in the aftermath of something once beautiful— that faded, a connection that ended, and a feeling that changed. It carries the weight of memory and pain. It’s me trying to piece together the remains of an emotion that once felt whole.

Q: Can You Tell Us About The Book?

A: Of What Was Love is not a story, but a memory. My own lived experience.Each poem is a fragment – of the longing, of the loss, of the beauty found in the unravelling, and of the love that’s still not lost. Together, they speak of what love was—and, perhaps, what it still will be.

Q: What Does The Title Mean?

A: Exploring lost love, unfulfilled affection, or the deeper meaning behind human connection.

Q: Do You Have Any Suggestions To Help Others To Become A Better Writer? If So, What Are They?

A: Be honest to your emotions and content. A readerrs must be able to not only visualize but also feel the author.Use Simple language but layer the phrases.

Q: Do You Try More To Be Original Or To Deliver To Readers What They Want?

A: I try to be original. In today’s world of AI, content can be created at the click of a button. What such content wil lack is human emotions. I try to bring those original emotions into my writing.
