I had to fight for my existence before I was even out of my mother’s womb.
If I didn’t stop fighting then, why would I stop now?

What Will People Say follows a South Asian woman’s journey through being a daughter, and later a daughter-in-law, within the strict confines of her patriarchal family. Readers watch as the narrator navigates life, trying to find a safe place for herself, until she finally becomes her own hero.

Grappling with the subjects of sexual and psychological trauma, as well as mental health, this collection of poetry carves a path beyond the guilt of wondering: “What will people say?”

Industry Reviews

“What Will People Say is one of the strongest poetic debuts in years. Poet and avid tea-drinker Taniya Gupta’s ability to blend the beautiful with the brutal is impressive, to say the least. Gupta has crafted a gorgeous, emotional, deeply personal collection with universal appeal. Her vulnerability will empower others to share their stories, too – in the end, we will all feel a bit less lonely thanks to this book.” — Alicia Cook, bestselling author of Sorry I Haven’t Texted You Back
