The Author
Shaku Selvakumar found her voice as a poet following the tragic loss of a dear friend. Through her journey from grief
and repair to the celebration, resilience, and creativity of life, she found strength in the power of verse to heal and
guide. Her delightful and imaginative graphic collage artistry appears in the illustrations for Be Still My Heart.
Though Shaku’s inspiration comes from many sources, she is refueled by the natural world. Having lived in different
countries, her ability to find unity in life infuses her writing with balance, harmony, and hope.
