Book excerpt: Calling all misfits to relish obscurities, introspection, and reconceptualization of the mundane within the pages of Modern Oddity: Poetic Musings of a Chronic Storyteller! Using realities true, borrowed, and imagined, Ayushee Roy wields her passion for storytelling to create an insightful anthology on the complexities of the human experience. Her poems urge readers to feel seen and understood, while also encouraging them to truly explore and understand the world around them. From depicting the suffocating nature of societal expectations in "Catalogue of Misfires," and welcoming unpredictability in "The 21st Century Guide to Rituals," to empathizing with the Minotaur's loneliness and reinventing Sirens as symbols for modern femininity, Modern Oddity seeks to include rather than exclude-and to celebrate rather than deprecate. Through witty, rhythmic, and poignant verse, Roy gives you permission to embrace the idiosyncrasies in your own life, while reminding you to seek out little pockets of peace within the vibrant mess that this world can sometimes offer.
