Naga journalist Rita Krocha’s poetry book ‘from the broken earth’ released

Kohima: A collection of 60 poems ‘from the broken earth’ by prominent Nagaland based journalist, author, and publisher Vishü Rita Krocha was formally released on Monday by Abu Metha, adviser to the chief minister and associate vice president of the Athletic Federation of India (AFI), at The Heritage in Kohima.

“The book contains 60 poems, each with an accompanying image and most of these poems were written during these two years of the pandemic. In a world before the coronavirus, I would never have imagined grieving the loss of a loved one from so far away,” the author said.

Expressing how the world clung to life, despite the anxiety and loneliness brought about by the pandemic, Rita said that she turned to poetry as a way of feeling better about life.
