“The Labyrinth of Clouds” Nalini Dhiman

“The Labyrinth of Clouds”

The Labyrinth of Clouds is a poetry book written by Nalini Dhiman. The name indicates an entanglement of clouds such as a meandering maze where the author needs to find her way out. The choice of words as the title can be linked to the author’s fascination with clouds. Her phone’s gallery is full of photographs of different formations of clouds that she sees.

We all feel lost sometimes and yearn to find our way out of the messy tunnels. Sometimes, we feel lost even in the places we love the most. For the author, she uses clouds as an image of how lost she feels even in the world she has created for herself, a world she loves.

This book ranges from Odes to imagery poetry, motivating to demotivating poetry. Reading the words is easy but what matters is reading between the lines because every poet hides meaning behind the words. Thus, The Labyrinth of Clouds is a book that shows how confusing everything can be, but in the end, what matters is the appreciation of love in life and finding one’s purpose.

About the Author.

Nalini is currently a sixteen-year-old student living in India. She delved into poetry when she was fourteen, in 2017. Poetry started out as a method to vent, then an additional hobby and finally her passion, a source of happiness for her. She discovered her interest in writing after creating her blog Soberly Drunk Poetry on Blogspot in July 2018. Since then, her writing style has developed tremendously. She has written in freestyle, tried writing Shakespearian sonnets, researched about iambic pentameter and learned about different kinds of poems. Her mission to write odes, epitaphs, elegies, pastorals and, maybe someday, Terza Rima poems. Apart from writing, Nalini is a big fan of reading poems. She prefers poetry from the 19th century, although there is no such partiality in the content she reads. As of today, her favorite poems are The Passionate Shepherd To His Love by Christopher Marlowe and The Nymph’s Reply To The Shepherd by Sir Walter Raleigh.

Nalini is also an avid reader of books, preferring novels in the Young Adult genre. Gaming is one of her favorite hobbies. PUBG, Call of Duty and good ol’ Mini Militia are some of her most liked games.

Nalini believes in redemption of one’s soul. She wants to dedicate the better part of her life helping others (animals & humans) grow and develop in the most beautiful way possible.

Her best friend is her father. Nalini’s father believed in her many times even when she didn’t. Her mother has always been with her, supporting every decision and encouraging her in the right way. Therefore, writing this book and getting it published is a small step closer to what she wants to achieve.
