About – Swirling Leaf Press

The Swirling Leaf Press was started by Rachna Chowla, a doctor by day and poet by night, who just wanted to share the poems that were shared with her. The idea of competing with other talented poets and subsequent busy cycles of entering writing competitions, in the hope of getting her poetry noticed and perhaps published, was the diametric opposite of joy for her. There had to be another way. And of course there was…

After a chance meeting with another writer, who sat next to Rachna during a meditation retreat in Paris, she set up The Swirling Leaf Press and in March 2017, published her first collection of poetry ‘Fall in love with Love with me?’ And since, the Press has helped other authors share their work. The only requirement the Press has is that the author’s work, in some way, expresses Love, Truth and Beauty.
