Chandigarh-Born Author Dr. Sazina Khan Launches New Poetry Collection She Walked Anyway
Chandigarh 3 August ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : Chandigarh-born bestselling author and poet Dr. Sazina Khan launched her latest poetry collection, *She Walked Anyway*, during a special literary evening in New Delhi that brought together distinguished voices from literature, theatre and the performing arts for an engaging discussion on women, memory, autonomy and the making of the inner self. Originally hailing from Chandigarh, Dr. Khan's latest work marks another milestone in her literary journey and has already garnered significant appreciation from readers, climbing to the No. 1 position across three Amazon categories.
The evening featured Prof. (Dr.) K. G. Suresh as Chief Guest. The panel discussion, Walking Through Storms: Women, Memory and the Making of the Inner Self, included designer, curator and theatre artist Oroon Das, internationally acclaimed director and choreographer Dr. Gilles Chuyen, and was moderated by noted writer and social development leader Meera Khanna. She Walked Anyway explores themes of resilience, identity, grief, healing and self-discovery through poems such as *Unannounced Becoming*, *Permissionless*, *Grace, Unrequested* and *I Didn't Ask for Light*. The collection presents walking as a metaphor for perseverance and self-authorship, encouraging readers to embrace courage even in moments of uncertainty.Speaking about the book, Dr. Khan said, *"To walk anyway is not always to rebel loudly. Sometimes, it is simply to refuse disappearance. It is the decision to continue becoming, even when the world has not granted its approval. These poems inhabit that quiet territory where vulnerability does not negate strength, grief does not erase dignity and survival gradually transforms into self-possession."* Written as a heartfelt gift for her daughter, Daneen, the collection carries a deeply personal and generational message, offering readers hope, resilience and the strength to reclaim their own journeys despite life's adversities.
The literary discussion examined how poetry preserves memory, shapes identity and gives voice to quiet courage, while also exploring the evolving meaning of autonomy and equality in contemporary society. A powerful performative interpretation of *I Didn't Ask for Light* by Oroon Das and Dr. Gilles Chuyen added another emotional dimension to the evening, drawing an enthusiastic response from the audience. The success of *She Walked Anyway* further reinforces Dr. Khan's growing reputation as an internationally recognised author and poet whose work resonates across cultures through themes of healing, resilience and human dignity. The launch marked another significant achievement for the Chandigarh-born author, whose literary contributions continue to earn appreciation on national and international platforms.
