Mysore/Mysuru: Mysuru Book Clubs Charitable Trust had organised the release of ‘Soul to the World: An Anthology of Poems’ by Dubai-based poet Kirthana Uthappa Jaisimha, at a private hotel yesterday. The book explores themes of inner peace, emotional growth and spiritual evolution. The poems celebrate nature, humanity and wildlife, while emphasising the importance of embracing emotions.
The book was released by Maneyapanda Mothi Uthappa. The first copies were received by Trust Chairperson Shubha Sanjay Urs, Trustee Kitty Mandana and Sumy Uthappa. The book is dedicated to the poet’s mother on her 70th birthday.
Kirthana’s poetry draws from her experiences as a mother, wife and individual. A self-described dreamer and believer, she values time, purpose and meaningful relationships, and hopes her words inspire readers to pause, reflect and remember.
Trust Member Shanthala compered the programme, while Prof. Krishna Manavalli was in conversation with the poet. Granddaughters Tiara Muddappa and Saanvi Jaisimha introduced their grandparents.
Vidya Arun, S. Prithvi, Hita and Pamela Sanath welcomed the gathering and proposed a vote of thanks.
