CANDY FLOSS

Candy Floss explores family, media, the rise and ebb of juvenile emotions

and most significantly, the subtle realization of feminine identity in an

urban setting. The text is an insight into the mind of a waning adolescent,

constructed in modern free verse, indicating the influence of Arvind

Krishna Mehrotra, Robert Frost, Wendy Cope, Ranjit Hoskoté, William

Carlos Williams and Carol Ann Duffy. Candy Floss is lined with optimism

and mischief, deliberately leaving a train of uncertainty in opinion and

identifiable confusion as the writer matures, while discarding a trail of

unanswered questions and unresolved angst. However, the writer looks at

her world as it is and pompously grieves for it.
