Synopsis

Falling Through Love is a heart-pounding, stomach-dropping, beautiful plunge into experiences of love, longing, and loss.

Falling Through Love submerges readers into Kichloo's deeply personal yet widely resonant experiences, exploring relationships in their most exposed and honest states. Written in a variety of poetic forms—free verse, rhyme, prose, and visual poetry—Falling Through Love takes the reader on a poignant journey with the writer, about charting one’s own path in life, investigating failure, family dynamics, and love. Looking at life backward and forward simultaneously, this collection brings forth new perspectives on what it means to be alive, to have made mistakes, to have fought for an identity, to have loved and lost and then loved and lost again.

Review:

Praise for Falling Through Love

"In his beautiful debut, Kichloo speaks to predecessors as diverse as Seamus Heaney and (fellow doctor-poet) Rafael Campo in a series of lovely, compelling poems that merit reading and rereading."

―Chaya Bhuvaneswar, author of White Dancing Elephants
"Falling Through Love is a brilliant and unapologetic exploration of faith, loss, mental illness, and the many facets of love. Kichloo's compelling storytelling will remind you of the push and pull of love."

―K.Y. Robinson, author of The Chaos of Longing
"Reading Falling Through Love felt like what I imagine Alice felt like falling into Wonderland--it's beautiful (almost overwhelmingly so), evokes a remarkable variety and amount of emotions, and ultimately causes you to look inward towards yourself."

―Juliette Sebock, Nightingale & Sparrow Literary Magazine
