"A fascinating and exhaustive explanation as to why emotions are a political issue." –Brit Dawson, AnOther Magazine The work of love is a feminist problem, and it demands feminist solutions Comforting a family member or friend, soothing children, providing company for the elderly, ensuring that people feel well enough to work; this is all essential labour. Without it, capitalism would cease to function. They Call It Love investigates the work that makes a haven in a heartless world, examining who performs this labor, how it is organised, and how it might change. In this groundbreaking book, Alva Gotby calls this work “emotional reproduction,” unveiling its inherently political nature. It not only ensures people’s well-being but creates sentimental attachments to social hierarchy and the status quo. Drawing on the thought of the feminist movement Wages for Housework, Gotby demonstrates that emotion is a key element of capitalist reproduction. To improve the way we relate to one another will require a radical restructuring of society.

This book is a representation of my thoughts. It is everything that I want to be but could not. It is a summary of my experiences and the colors in which I see. This book is about me learning to acknowledge before wanting to heal. It is about learning to accept before expecting and seeing the essentials before seeking the extraordinary. This book is my unlearning process. This book is a child of fear, anger, love, and everything in-between. It is my act of kindness. A kindness that I needed to show myself before I showed it to anyone else. This book is a representation of my blank yet chaotic mind.

Wind and Thoughts isn’t merely a collection of poems; it is a sacred thread of emotions—an override of loving and loss. The book touches upon the lost emotions of everyday sociality. Emotions get brought up during conversations and need a welcoming heart to embrace them. This ‘welcoming’ is the core motivation for Shainal Verma, who intends to invite all the readers to introspect and reflect upon their emotions. Poetry is incomplete without grounding oneself in this simmering pool of emotions. Shainal Verma’s quest is simple, to voice the ‘taken for granted’ emotions as they hold the potential to teach us so much and liberate us. Wind and Thoughts embarks you on a journey of recognizing the different relationships and the value they bring into one’s life, be it a relationship with your mother, father or a friend. It structures down the vast scope of the meaning of love, heartbreak, and what it means to be a woman, making us see beauty in everything, even pain. Wind and Thoughts is the author’s culmination of pure expression. Before you grasp it, ensure you’re ready to reflect on this roller coaster of life.
