Neetu M (wordswithlove)

A mother, a poet and writer of fiction and non-fiction, and a traveler both of the world outside and the world within.

Writing has brought me closer to the world, and the world closer to me. Travel has been a major part of my life since I was a young woman and is an addiction. I travel not just to see new places, I travel to touch, feel, taste and smell new and diverse experiences. Not all are pleasant, but each one is unique and opens a new window.

I write about travel, food, family, lifestyle and anything that touches me in my soul, in my mind, and in my heart.

As a poet, I have been published in several magazines and literary journals, including the NY Literary Magazine's Tears' Anthology, October Hill Magazine, the Australia Times Poetry Magazine. My poems have appeared in three different international anthologies of poetry.
