D/O: Poems

D/O is a book about growing up in motion—leaving home, missing people, falling apart, and starting again. But also knowing that you never fully forget where you came from, or the people you belong to.
This debut collection by Yashmita D/O Ananthan explores all that we are daughters of: playlists, hometown glories, 2020s kismet, and the histories we carry in our bodies. Through poems that move and insist on taking up space, D/O traces love, memory, and girlhood as unfinished states, alongside the work of making new homes and figuring shit out. Come relish a voice that is at once diaristic and admonishing, incandescent and clear.
