Unfolded - Jena Sumedha
I chose the title of this book as, "Unfolded," because from a reader's point of view it's a series of events from life that are slowly unfolding over a period of time. I went through a temporary depressive arc early into entering university and therefore lacked the motivation to write, eventually falling into a rut. This feeling changed this year, as I encountered new people in my life where we shared new experiences. Because of this, I was able to come out of my shell once again and really begin to live life the way it was meant to be lived, as opposed to constantly living in a bubble of worry. But nevertheless, once I re-entered the proper headspace to write, I was unable to stop myself. I came to the conclusion that I would be reflecting back on several different eras and circumstances in my life, from the perspective of someone who has grown up in the past couple of years. In this book I write about experiences filled with love, hatred, revenge, peace, fear, and hope, so I can look back at them from a place of serenity and appreciate how far I have come from them. --Sumedha Jena
The crux of her writings has been to explore varied phases of experiences she comes across 'within' and 'even without' herself on shifting from a confined family life to the ethos of a friendly yet meaningful social scenario wherein she achieves an identity of her own. There is a happy acceptance of reality as she sums up:
"carrying a part of every soul who has touched my life woven into the fabric of my being" (poem 40). I congratulate her for such an endeavor and wish her a prosperous career as a poet. -- Dr Satya Shankar Mishra, Former Professor of English and Former Director, I.A.S. Coaching Centre, Govt.of Odisha, India
