Poems by Yashmita D/O Ananthan

“Rooted in mythology, Tamil culture and the natural world, Yashmita’s intimate poems trace the complexities of daughterhood and queer heartache. Her writing offers a salve for those who dream of leaving yet long, always, to return home.”—Prasanthi Ram

D/O is a book about growing up in motion—leaving home, missing people, falling apart, and starting again. But also knowing that you never fully forget where you came from, or the people you belong to.

This debut collection by Yashmita D/O Ananthan explores all that we are daughters of: playlists, hometown glories, 2020s kismet, and the histories we carry in our bodies. Through poems that move, shift and loop, D/O traces love, memory, and girlhood as unfinished states, alongside the work of making new homes and figuring shit out. Come relish a voice that is at once diaristic and admonishing, incandescent and clear.

🍊 Every webstore order of D/O comes with a special sticker sheet—because this diaristic confessional of everyday life deserves your scribbles, mess, and love.
📌 D/O by Yashmita D/O Ananthan is also available as an e-book at Kobo, Google Play and other retailers: Amazon.US
