My name is Madhu Kiran Kans and I am a mature Punjabi woman, and have wanted to publish my own book. I was born in Sirhind, India and my family came to the UK in 1966.
I grew up in a town called Gravesend, Kent, in the UK, and studied at the local girls grammar school.
I have always been interested in writing and in primary school the teachers noted that I had a vivid imagination, so during the pandemic, I have had time to finish this treasured book.
My desire is to move people; this book is for an adult audience. During these unprecedented times families are going through a lot of turmoil and anxiety and these poems, I hope will be uplifting, challenging and thought provoking.
I am a teacher by profession and have lived and worked in many parts of the world such as Asia, Mexico, Canada and UK and these international experiences have really informed my sense of style and Christian values.
I pray that upon reading these poems you will be touched, feel the presence of the Holy Spirit, and that you will accept this balm as a wonderful gift.
