About the Book

In her debut collection, Praneet Rana takes you through the evolving journey of life—Inclining, Oppressing, Discovering, Yearning and Becoming. Growing up in New Zealand while staying connected to her rich Punjabi roots, her poetry unpacks the complexities of being a woman in a world that often tries to define you. With unflinching vulnerability and raw emotion, she explores themes of love, loss, longing, and the realisation that beauty is far deeper than the surface.

This book is a call to anyone who has ever felt the weight of society’s expectations or found themselves questioning their true identity. It’s an invitation to look beyond the superficial and embrace the full spectrum of what makes us whole. Through her words, Praneet reminds us that every woman is more than what the world tells her to be.
