“The Whispering Mountains: Poems of Uttarakhand’s Legends and Folktales” – Shweta Kapoor’s Homage to Heritage, Memory, and the Magic of Storytelling

Every once in a while, a book comes along that doesn’t just tell stories—it breathes life into a place, its people, and its spirit. Shweta Kapoor’s The Whispering Mountains: Poems of Uttarakhand’s Legends and Folktales is one such work—a lyrical tapestry woven from the soul of the Himalayas, where myths are not just remembered, but relived.

Recipient of the 21st Century Emily Dickinson Award by BookLeaf Publishing, Shweta’s debut collection captures the essence of Uttarakhand—the land she calls her motherstate—with remarkable tenderness and vivid beauty. Each of the 21 poems paints an intimate portrait of landscapes, legendary heroes, enchanting myths, and enduring folk traditions that have been passed down through generations.

“My childhood was filled with stories told to me by my family members,” Shweta reflects. “These stories nurtured my knowledge of my homeland and colored my imagination. When it was time to share my first work as an author, it had to be the tales of Uttarakhand.”

And share she does—with authenticity, reverence, and a clear-eyed love that can only come from lived experience. Each poem in The Whispering Mountains serves as a window into a world both timeless and tender, where mountains speak, rivers remember, and history hums softly through the pine-scented air.

The beauty of Shweta’s writing lies in its quiet elegance. She doesn’t embellish unnecessarily; she lets the natural grandeur of Uttarakhand speak for itself through simple, resonant imagery. Her academic background as an Assistant Professor of English Literature at Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna (Central) Garhwal University, coupled with her deep love for storytelling since her childhood days at St. Theresa’s School, shines through in every carefully chosen word.

Her Ph.D. research on British dramatist Harold Pinter sharpened her sensitivity to nuance and subtext—qualities that seep into her poetry, giving it a layered richness that rewards careful reading.

What makes The Whispering Mountains so resonant is its honesty. These are not poems written to impress—they are poems written to remember, to honor, and to pass forward. Shweta nurtured her creative voice privately for many years, writing “for her own eyes,” until she understood the responsibility and magic of sharing stories. Today, she steps forward not just as a writer, but as a custodian of culture.

The judges of the Emily Dickinson Award praised her for “her delicate yet powerful evocation of place, memory, and myth, captured through heartfelt and accessible poetry.” Indeed, Shweta’s work reminds us that literature can be a bridge—connecting generations, preserving heritage, and inviting readers into worlds both real and imagined.

With The Whispering Mountains: Poems of Uttarakhand’s Legends and Folktales, Shweta Kapoor reaffirms that poetry can do more than express emotions—it can safeguard legacies. Her voice, gentle yet enduring, promises to echo for many generations to come.
