| Introduction | Cecilia Abraham “I write poetry because I want the voice in my head to be heard, my truth to be told, my words to inspire and my love to be felt.” – Cecilia Abraham Cecilia Abraham was born in Hyderabad and completed her Masters in Communication at the University of Hyderabad. For a few years, she worked as a radio jockey, communications specialist, PR executive and educator. As a little girl and university student, Cecilia published her poems in newspapers and magazines. Along the way, she lost her artistry, but found it years later when she attended a slam. She began to write once more against the backdrop of domesticity and motherhood. One of the few mature spoken word artists, Cecilia’s poems always reflect the reality of her life and are bold, entertaining and honest. Poetry and her two children constantly assure her that truth, beauty and love still exist. Her major poetic influences are Sant Kabir, Meena Kandasamy, Kamala Das and Christina Rosetti. Cecilia is married to an olive green and currently lives in Delhi. ‘Not Just a Housewife’ is her first book of poems. Her other poetry projects are the ‘Indian women poetry collective’ and ‘One State, One Poetess’. |
