Greetings, World

As I sat down to speak with Aakriti Kuntal, a multi-talented artist from Delhi, India, I couldn't help but be drawn in by her genuine and inspiring presence. We began our conversation by discussing her influences, and I was amazed by how she observes and conceptualizes her surroundings, including her own health. Aakriti's creative repertoire includes not only writing and poetry, but also beautiful visual art. She introduced me to a new form of poetry called quantum poetry, which she skillfully incorporates into her work. What struck me most about Aakriti was her use of writing as a tool for healing. Her upcoming Chapbook, set to be published this month, focuses on her own experience with a personal condition and she hopes it will help others who may be going through a similar struggle. Through her beautifully crafted words and images, Aakriti's poetry is both conceptual and full of powerful imagery that resonates long after reading. I feel incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to speak with Aakriti and be in the presence of her profound artistry.
