Joyce Job is a former I.T. professional hailing from Kerala, India. She writes online under her pen name Lirio Marchito, which means 'Wilted Lily' in Spanish, a tribute to Pablo Neruda. It was after reading his poem 'Tonight I can write the saddest lines,' during her college days, that she started writing poetry regularly.

She writes mainly poems, short stories, book reviews and blogs, in both Malayalam and English. Her favourite Malayalam author is O.N.V. Kurup. His love and concern for nature and subtle, suggestive tone have left a deep influence on her. The environment, its issues and solutions are a major theme of her blogs.

Her first book/poetry collection in English, 'The Blue Rabbit' was published by Writers Workshop, India in 2021.

This book exceeded all my expectations and then some more. I wasn't expecting the text to be so fluid. I devoured the book in a few days. I think I read the 1831 version.

I loved Victor's initial inquisitiveness, his craving for knowledge, his hard

Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
"My apologies, but this review is going to be a bit frantic due to my brain being so oxygen-starved by the novel’s breath-stealing gorgeousness that I'm feeling a bit light-headed. So please forgive the random thoughts.

First: Mary Shelley…I love you!!" Read more of this review »

I'm enjoying the comments as much as the original Chanakya sutras. While there are many pearls in Chanakya's teachings, the casteism, Brahmanical supremacy, and misogyny of his time are reflected in his writings too. So the commentary calling out the ...more

“Fallen
like a dew drop to the petals of a rose.
Fallen
like a snowflake to the river of dreams.
Fallen
like an autumn leaf to the bosom of soil.
Fallen
to be one and never to part again.

- Poem 'Fallen”
Joyce Job, The Blue Rabbit

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”
Mary Oliver

“We all owe death a life.”
Salman Rushdie, Midnight’s Children

“That it really began in the days when the Love Laws were made. The laws that lay down who should be loved, and how.

And how much.”
Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink.”
George Orwell, Politics and the English Language
