Anguished Irises

'Anguished Irises' is a poignant and introspective poetry collection that takes readers through Shekhar's emotional journey after his separation from Evelyn. Compiled as a journal, each verse offers a raw, unfiltered glimpse into the author's struggles as he grapples with the aftermath of loss and heartbreak. The title itself, *Anguished Irises*, carries deep significance-irises, often symbolizing hope, are now twisted with anguish, reflecting the fading of Shekhar's optimism and his numbness to life's emotional spectrum. With each poem, Shekhar invites you to explore the delicate balance between grief and healing, leaving you with a powerful meditation on the quiet strength found in vulnerability.

Anguished Irises is the second book of the Withered Roses series.
