Ultraviolet: Meditations on Healing & Transformation is a deeply introspective poetry collection that invites readers on a journey of spiritual healing and self-discovery.
Written with simplicity and grace, these poems offer a tender exploration of finding strength and peace in the wake of experiencing a life-changing illness.
In "Awakening," author Maya Sarin Erinippurath writes:
"In the darkness, a door opened and I stepped into the light.
I began to see everything becoming,
everything simply as it is. A new identity emerges
like I'm wearing new skin; my heart swells and I am
weightless, a feather floating free."
Ultraviolet unfolds in three sections-"The Undoing," "The Reckoning," and "The Awakening"-in which the speaker, after learning of her diagnosis, deepens her inward attention and begins her healing journey. Each poem creates a space for quiet reflection, inviting readers to pause, breathe, and embrace the present moment. The collection is a meditation on surrender and an invitation to explore one's own path toward healing, guiding readers to embrace vulnerability, reconnect within, and engage more deeply with the world around them.
Rooted in the natural world and the quiet rhythms of spiritual growth, the poems draw on imagery of purple hues, birdsong, and water as sources of solace and possibility. Together, they offer a gentle call to slow down, offering comfort to those seeking calm, renewal, and a sense of peace.
