Ansuya Patel is a prize-winning published poet whose work cuts to the bone of lived experience.
Drawing on themes of trauma, childhood neglect, and cultural expectation. Her poetry traces a powerful arc from silence and survival to resilience and self-claiming.
Her debut collection “Wolves At My Door” has been praised for its emotional honesty and
fearless engagement with difficult truths. Breaking away from inherited narrative of who she was meant to be. She writes toward who she has become. Her poems are rooted in memory, body and feeling, transforming pain into language that resonates and endures.
Through precise imagery and emotional clarity, she creates work that invites readers to recognise themselves, to feel deeply, and to imagine the possibility of not just surviving, but thriving. To build connection, not to be understood but to be experienced. The poem is the speaker not the writer.
“Poetry is not about being a poet. It’s about being human.”
‘Lift your eyes
Where the roads dip and where the roads rise
Seek only there
Where the grey light meets the green air
The Hermit’s chapel, the pilgrim’s prayer.’ By T.S. Eliot
