    About this ebook

    This book is a collection of poems written by Swetha Ramesh since she was eight years old. Aptly titled "The Path To Reflection: a literary retrospective", this book captures the author's emotions and views on a wide range of topics, from 'An Apple to the Teacher' to a 'Soliloquy'. The author’s intent is to not only provide a literary retrospective but also to inspire young readers.
