About the Book

Written by acclaimed poet and software engineer Hornbill Harcel, Where the Piopios Sing is an immersive, deeply poignant collection of poems, wayward letters, and diary fragments that masterfully explores the complex nature of human loss. Following the resounding success of her award-winning debut Woebegone Wynds, Harcel's second collection captures the profound, bittersweet blues of passing time. Each expressive verse and piece of evocative prose acts as an emotional canvas, framing raw encounters with lost childhood, fading friendships, vanished childhood sanctuaries, lost freedom, and the endless search for healing. Symbolized by the extinct New Zealand piopio bird, the collection invites readers on a transformative internal voyage enshrouded in the rich, introspective hues of longing and resilience. This exceptional anthology secured the prestigious first-rank accolade in the poetry category at the LiFT Awards, confirming Harcel's standing as one of India's most resonant contemporary literary voices. Pepper Books guarantees pristine, undamaged physical paperbacks protected with moisture-resistant covers to shield the corner points perfectly throughout transit.
