Candy Floss by Bhavya Kirti explores family, media, the rise and ebb of juvenile emotions and most significantly, the subtle realization of feminine identity in an urban setting. The text is an insight into the mind of a waning adolescent, constructed in modern free verse, indicating the influence of Arvind Krishna Mehrotra, Robert Frost, Wendy Cope, Ranjit Hoskoté, William Carlos Williams and Carol Ann Duffy.
