The Rise Insight is delighted to extend its heartfelt congratulations to Sany Sayantanee, the author of the evocative poetry collection “My Pen Bleeds: A Fire Keeps Burning”, for her well-deserved nomination in the Poetry category for the prestigious TRI Literary Awards 2025, Season 03.
This recognition underlines not just a literary milestone, but also celebrates a voice that resonates deeply with the philosophical currents of life, love, struggle, and self-discovery. Sany Sayantanee’s journey—both personal and poetic—has culminated in a profound body of work that mirrors the raw yet beautiful contradictions of human existence.
Why TRI Chose My Pen Bleeds: A Fire Keeps Burning
The TRI Literary Awards are known for recognizing works that speak from the soul and touch the hearts of readers. In My Pen Bleeds: A Fire Keeps Burning, the jury found a rare blend of emotional intensity, philosophical depth, and lyrical elegance. The book is more than a collection of poems—it is an odyssey through the manifold shades of the human psyche, crafted with a finesse that is both inspiring and unforgettable.
The book’s thematic richness stands out. It gracefully traverses the domains of life, death, and afterlife, weaving in existential questions with a poetic fluidity. What makes Sayantanee’s work so compelling is her unapologetic vulnerability—her poetry is drenched in the emotions of love, loss, grief, hope, and inner revival. Her ability to transform personal stormy trials into universal truths is commendable, making her poems relatable and redemptive for readers across ages and backgrounds.
Moreover, the metaphorical brilliance in My Pen Bleeds is unmistakable. Sayantanee masterfully uses imagery—Mother Nature’s cathartic embrace, the gloom of greys pierced by a rainbow, and life as both a roller coaster and an uphill battle—to awaken a deeply meditative experience in the reader. Her lines do not just rhyme; they resonate, reflect, and rebuild.
In her own words, poetry is not a deliberate craft but a spontaneous overflow of emotions, and this is evident in every verse she pens. There is no forced rhythm here—only organic, heartfelt expression. The judges were particularly moved by her emphasis on poetry as a subconscious journey and her belief that the poet merely serves as a medium through which emotions take shape.
