CANDY FLOSS

Candy Floss explores family, media, the rise and ebb of juvenile emotions / and most significantly, the subtle realization of feminine identity in an / urban setting. The text is an insight into the mind of a waning adolescent, / constructed in modern free verse, indicating the influence of Arvind / Krishna Mehrotra, Robert Frost, Wendy Cope, Ranjit Hoskoté, William / Carlos Williams and Carol Ann Duffy. Candy Floss is lined with optimism / and mischief, deliberately leaving a train of uncertainty in opinion and / identifiable confusion as the writer matures, while discarding a trail of / unanswered questions and unresolved angst. However, the writer looks at / her world as it is and pompously grieves for it./
