Remembrance By Meera Dasgupta (Grades 7-9)

Meera Dasgupta is a compassionate and introspective poet whose writing moves between personal history and shared experience. Growing up between cultures, they cultivated a deep sensitivity to memory, language, and belonging. Their poem “Remembrance” reflects this duality, exploring how past moments—joys, losses, and everyday smallness—continue to echo in the present. With graceful yet honest imagery, Meera weaves threads of nostalgia and renewal, reminding readers of the power in remembering both what was lost and what remains. Dasgupta’s work invites quiet reflection and lasting connection.
