A powerful new voice in contemporary poetry emerges as Rakesh Kadyan ‘Akbar’ releases his much-awaited poetry collection, Guftugoo, a book that speaks directly to the heart.
Guftugoo is more than a compilation of verses—it is a journey through the inner landscapes of emotion, memory, and human sensitivity. Akbar’s poetry carries the softness of reflection and the intensity of lived experience. Each poem feels like a quiet conversation, sometimes with the world and sometimes with one’s own soul.
Written over the span of almost ten years, this collection explores themes of love, longing, heartbreak, inner conflict, identity, pain, healing, and the search for peace. Through simple yet profound language, Akbar captures the beauty hidden in ordinary moments—the warmth of relationships, the silence of separation, and the gentle truth of self-discovery.
What makes Guftugoo truly special is its emotional honesty. Every poem feels alive, shaped by real moments of joy and sorrow. The reader is invited not just to read, but to feel—to pause, breathe, and recognize their own experiences in the poet’s words.
This book is for anyone who believes poetry is a mirror, a companion, and a way to reconnect with one’s inner world. Guftugoo promises to linger in the reader’s mind long after the final page is turned.
Guftugoo is now available. Step into the soulful world of Rakesh Kadyan ‘Akbar’ and rediscover the poetry within yourself.
