Gunjan Sharma – Winner of the 21st Century Emily Dickinson Award
“अधूरी से पूरी तक” – A Journey from Silence to Strength in 21 Soul-Baring Poems
From the vibrant city of Pune, India, emerges a poetic voice that is as raw as it is redemptive. अधूरी से पूरी तक by Gunjan Sharma is not merely a book—it is a courageous chronicle of emotional healing. Honored with the 21st Century Emily Dickinson Award, this powerful Hindi poetry collection invites readers into a world where heartbreak is not the end but the beginning of transformation.
Comprising 21 deeply personal poems, अधूरी से पूरी तक (From Incomplete to Complete) charts the evolution of a woman’s soul—from the depths of despair to the quiet power of self-discovery. Written in the language of vulnerability, each poem reflects a phase of emotional healing—navigating through grief, loss, rejection sensitivity, depression, anxiety, and ultimately, renewal.
Gunjan Sharma’s poetic voice is intimate and uncompromising. “Writing wasn’t a plan—it was my therapy,” she shares. Born during one of the most emotionally fragile periods of her life, this book became her outlet—her silent scream, her unspoken prayer. What began as an attempt to survive pain blossomed into a collection that now empowers others to see their reflection in her words.
With titles like “तेरे बिना” and “नई राह की ओर”, each piece in this collection holds space for every emotion we try to hide—yet long to be seen. Gunjan’s style is refreshingly honest. She doesn’t seek to impress; she seeks to express. Her poems echo with the struggles of many, especially women navigating the complex terrain of emotional pain and rediscovery.
अधूरी से पूरी तक resonates because it isn’t poetry for performance—it’s poetry for survival. It speaks to the quiet warriors among us who’ve ever felt unheard, unloved, or unseen. In her words, Gunjan doesn’t just write about healing—she embodies it.
Her journey from private heartbreak to public healing is nothing short of courageous. Publishing this book was an act of quiet rebellion—of choosing voice over silence, expression over suppression. And now, as readers reach out saying, “I saw myself in your words,” she finds her truest reward—not in accolades, but in connection.
This book is not just a literary work—it’s an emotional revolution. A mirror for the broken, and a lighthouse for those still trying to find their way. Through her words, Gunjan Sharma proves that poetry has the power not just to express, but to transform.
