You Complete Me

In Harshada Pathare's collection of poetry You Complete Me, the intellectual and ecstatic passions of life are explored, from motherhood to romantic love. No subject is too small for examination, nor unworthy of comparison to universal and great truths. In the title poem, 'You Complete Me', the speaker praises and expresses admiration for the resiliency of his beloved despite the conflict and troubles she has endured, and invokes his hopes for their relationship and future together. The relationship is celebrated as both spiritual and everyday in its domestic quality. In her fourth poetry collection, Pathare pursues the extremes of human relationships, friendship, and spiritual ideals. Her meditations on motherhood, religion, and romantic love illustrate her quest for universal truths. Unhesitating in offering life lessons to the reader, she confronts the pain of transition and growth, promising redemption through belief in a divine mission.
