About Us.
However, Chrysanthemum Chronicles is not solely about female desires or her innermost feelings; it vividly reflects the importance of her opposite in her journey and depicts the beauty they create together in their purposeful existence as each other’s soul mate or lovers.
Chrysanthemum Chronicles will also give shape to myriad unspoken, unheard love and romance tales, from Asian subcontinents and across the globe through its literary voyage. And it shall also homage those untouched themes, genres and sub genres with eclectic voices that are still waiting to be heard with narrative styles that will grab our attention.
Modern nymph tales, fables, urban lores, whimsical sagas and magic begin here...
Chrysanthemum Chronicles is a sanctuary where tales from across cultures, barriers and regions breathe as one mottled tapestry. This is the utopian land of contemporary fables, folklores, whimsical tales and verses. It is the candid expression of a literary journey in abundance. It is an endeavor to fracture the shells of coyness and bring out in upfront the true feelings of human emotions through verses, prose and stories that shall touch the deeper core of yours making you want to read more from our issues and books.
Chrysanthemum also chronicles myriad women writers' journey but it would not depict any pessimistic thought about feminism. It will speak though and express gallantly about the female desires, her feelings and emotions that often remain confined within the four walls of her existence. The journal will somewhere thus reflect the aura of womanhood and feminine energy that dwells in her presence through her diversified roles within this universe.
