Prepare for some adventures in 'Ink's Shadow'. These poems evoke shifting states of mind with all the twists of love, doubt and insight which come in between. Each chapter reflects upon several themes such as; cultural tradition, domestic violence, masculinity, sexuality, taboo, love and identity. In her writing, Amaninder Khatkar traces the dynamics of relationship and of solitude, pushing lyrical poetry to a playful complexity. The author quotes "I examined the beauty and virtue of an unattainable woman who was the focus of my desire, the cause of my poetry and the mirror which defined my identity". In this collection of poems a young woman ventures through this journey where the stars don't sleep, until she surrenders to the ocean where her words flow on water.
