Me And My Shadow

Me and My Shadow is a collection of poems written and composed by Mrs. Karon Hansepi, poet and writer from Diphu and translated by emerging poets Longbir Terang and Welsing Hanse. The original book was written in Karbi language titled Ne pen Ne Harchi (Italicize the tilte) which was the first collection and compilation of her self-composed poems. The book was published during the auspicious occasion of the Golden Jubilee Celebration of the Karbi Lammet Amei [KLA] or Karbi Literary Organization held at Joysing Doloi Auditorium Hall, Diphu in September 2016.

Many of the poems are dedicated to the loving memory of her dear and near ones, who are no more and some are dedicated to those who have given her encouragement and motivation throughout her life. These poems reflect the warmth, admiration, love, lost and pains that one has to come across in the course of the journey of life.

Some of the poems were written in the memory of her loving brothers and parents. Though they are no more with her to share her pain and happiness, upon her heart she always feels their presence now and then.

Few poems are composed in honour of the motherland, the land that nature has bestowed with beauty and bounty for giving her an opportunity to live a life of hope and admiration and a sense of responsibility as a citizen of this great nation and carved out an identity for herself.

Few poems are dedicated to her friends and well-wishers. The bygone days of a few years she spent with them are memorable to be cherished. Blessings from them come to her in disguise.
