Amaryllis--Thirty Nights Of Spring is a cohesive collection that explores the profound dualities of human resilience, memory, and the quiet wars fought within the spirit. Written over a dedicated span of thirty nights of April, the month of poetry, the manuscript balances the heavy, visceral realities of illness, isolation, and displacement against an unyielding capacity for unconditional love and sanctuary.

As a professional writer and author with a deep commitment to the integrity of classical craft, Nandy has built this collection upon a rigorous architecture of traditional poetic forms. The manuscript seamlessly navigates the cascading rhythms of the Japanese chōka, the intricate reflections of the pantoum, the stately bounds of the sonnet, and the haunting repetitions of the sestina. Visually and thematically, she hopes her poems bloom like the crimson petals of the mythic amaryllis—refusing to be broken by a hostile environment, and transforming personal and historical grief into a timeless, unweathered monument.

She strives to achieve a spectrum that is both broad and deeply personal. It moves from literary and cinematic homages--to raw, candid reflections on the lived experience of epilepsy and the "incessant ringing" of the mind. From the ivory sheen of a heron to the "starry nights" of St. Remy’s Asylum where Van Gogh stayed, these poems seek to find solace in art amidst the "shattered world" of human conflict and illness.

Her work frequently explores deep philosophical subtexts, historical intersections, and the enduring strength of the unbroken spirit.
