As the world celebrates Poetry Day, actress Kalki Koechlin opens up about her lifelong journey of finding solace and expression through poetry. Recalling her earliest encounters with the craft, Koechlin reveals that she began writing poems at a young age, with her mother preserving her earliest works. Drawing inspiration from her childhood readings and the gift of poetry books from her mother, Koechlin's poetic journey has been deeply rooted in her formative years.
Reflecting on the therapeutic nature of writing, Koechlin describes poetry as a means of peeling away emotional layers and connecting with her innermost feelings. Her writing, she explains, serves as a form of self-examination, allowing her to articulate complex emotions like anger, sadness, and anxiety.
When asked about her daughter Sappho potentially following in her poetic footsteps, Koechlin shares that while her daughter currently expresses herself through drawings, she remains open to the possibility of storytelling and poetry in the future.
Drawing inspiration from her own experiences and the evolving world around her, Koechlin's poetry delves into topics ranging from motherhood to personal growth, reflecting the ongoing changes and challenges she encounters in her life. While she entertains the idea of publishing her poetry someday, Koechlin believes there is still more to explore and refine in her craft before considering publication.
