In her debut poetry book, the starry-eyed moon child, Evangelin writes about the different colours of love that she has experienced, or wishes to experience. With the help of short compositions, she explores the themes of self-love, romantic entanglement, and feminism. She also touches upon topics like racism and her South Indian culture, with love being the underlying tone that binds them all. This book marks the beginning of the journey that she wishes to embark upon as she wields poetry as a torchlight on the path to discovering herself and the world around her. the moon raised me as a girl with it i was fed the stars mirrored my eyes as they glistened with joy and sorrow and so i will paint the sky with my words and the stars will mark my sentences as i transform the tears in my heart to the mark of a starry-eyed moonchild//
