Urvashi


Author of The Little Glow, Staff Writer at The Scientific Teen Journal, Member of The New York Academy of Sciences, Environmentalist and Trinity Grade 8 Pianist


The Little Glow is an inspiring collection of eclectic poems written by over several years, ranging from the humorous to the poignant.

"The purpose of art is to make the viewer or reader reflect. And that's exactly the effect Urvashi's poems have on you. They slow time, make you pause, stand back and reflect. On small things. On big things. On life. In the Little Glow, we see a unique voice emerge. A voice that sees the world through a new pair of eyes."

"For an 11-year old, Urvashi displays an impressive sensibility and craftsmanship. Nothing is too small or too daunting for her creative endeavours."
