Interview with Sarmistha Gupta – Author of A Wandering Zephyr – Deep Musings

About The Author

Sarmistha Gupta is from Kolkata, India. She has been creating poetry in genres that fascinate her. Since childhood the manifestation of life in abundant flavours evolving through poetry has had its influence on her and she uses it as her tool of meaningful expression.

A Wandering Zephyr – Deep Musings is an attempt to weave a whole gamut of ideas woven in an alluring tapestry of art. Each piece is individualistic, shaped out of her own sensibility at varying points in time. Compiling the poems with such huge projections in a thread of uniformity across the book is a task done impeccably.

This is her first book, and she dreams of creating more in the future. She writes under the pen name of Ninkasi.
