Meant For More Than This is a searing and lyrical poetry collection by British Nepali writer Rha Arayal, exploring the delicate, often volatile balance between identity, love, and self-worth in a world that resists both vulnerability and complexity. Written through the lens of a 21-year-old, Arayal shares poems that confront the intersections of womanhood, diaspora, mental health, and inherited grief — exposing the often overlooked and quiet ache of growing up in a body that is constantly misread.
Across these pages, Arayal blends emotional clarity with a disarming tenderness. Her writing traces the contours of girlhood and belonging, examining how language, memory, and generational silence shape our ability to speak — or scream. With sharp, evocative imagery and an unapologetic voice, she offers a deeply personal yet universal reflection on alienation, rage, softness, and survival.
Meant For More Than This is a collection that does not flinch. It sits in the discomfort of existing, in the mess of marginalisation, and in the beauty of small, defiant moments. For anyone who has ever felt too much, too little, or too in-between — this collection reminds us that we were never the problem. We were always meant for more.
