The Distance Darling is a lyrical exploration of love in its most vulnerable form—where closeness exists without certainty, and distance is felt even in presence. In this deeply moving poetry collection, Amrita Dash examines the silent spaces that grow between people, shaped by betrayal, fate, emotional restraint, and unspoken longing.

Through poems that move effortlessly between myth and modern life, the collection captures love as both refuge and storm. A mother’s sacrifice, a lover’s ache, the weight of societal expectations, and the solitude that precedes healing all find voice within these pages. Each poem reflects the fragile balance between holding on and letting go, revealing how love can wound without touch and yet continue to endure.

Raw, reflective, and achingly human, The Distance Darling is not just about relationships—it is about identity, resilience, and the courage to return to oneself. This book speaks to every reader who has loved deeply, waited silently, or discovered that even in loss, love transforms us.
