Interview With Author Bipasha Bhattacharjee
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi! I’m Bipasha, an aspiring physicist, poet, dancer and a new indie author. I am currently pursuing graduation in Physics. Writing poetry has always been my passion and I’m glad I’m finally getting to follow it!
My first poetry book was released recently and I’m so happy about it. This is the only book I’ve authored, as of now.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I recently published my first poetry book, ‘Woeful Verses: A Sad Poetry Assemblage’, which is a collection of sad poems revolving around different kinds of sorrowful emotions and having a sad touch in them. They include poems exploring sadness, depression, loneliness, death, abuse and mental and physical pain. I was inspired by my own life. You would be amused to know that I’m quite a sad person myself.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not much, but yeah, I almost ALWAYS prefer writing at a time I’m supposed to be concentrating on some other work.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
To name famous personalities, Sylvia Plath is one of my favourite poets with here sad poems. So is Robert Frost.
Keeping them aside, I’ve read work of various poets on poetry websites and social media. They keep me going.
And of course, Nature is one of my key inspirations.
What are you working on now?
Since I’ve just published my first poetry book, I’m taking a tiny bit of rest now. I’ll resume writing proactively once I’m refreshed.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Currently my best sites are Amazon itself and Instagram. I also like using Awesome Gang, AllPoetry and Threads for my books.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just go for it! Don’t be shy, put yourself and your book out there. Use as many different sites and methods you can afford to use for your book. And most importantly, never lose hope.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
I feel lonely often a times and feel noone loves me. Once, my teacher asked me to always imagine myself, and everyone I love, to be living in a really large house. And because it’s a really large one, it’s not always possible for them to talk to me. However, we still all live in the same large house and they are still there with me. That’s the best advice I’ve recieved, and it has helped me with my loneliness.
What are you reading now?
I’m spending my reading hours going through pieces written by other poets like me. AllPoetry and Instagram are very good places to find such pieces, and I’m loving it.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
I would bring a book I have – World’s Greatest Poems. I would also bring The Bell Jar and Malgudi Days. And lastly, I wouldn’t forget to bring my own book – Woeful Verses!!!
