Lyrical Muse

Alba Baptista

Asking a highly important question to all bibliophiles - if you were book genre, what would you be? To mark World Book Day on April 23rd, Lyrical Muse curated coverage rooted in the joy of reading. We haven’t had enough of speaking about our digital issue ‘First Light’ as well as all the amazing people and brands featured so here’s ‘First Light Features’, a short series to further celebrate each person who was part of our issue just like they deserve! April 22 marks Earth Day, which reflects on collective action and impact to protect our environment. We’re so incredibly proud to present Lyrical Muse’s first digital zine issue ‘First Light.’ Taking shaping as a celebration of our platform for its first anniversary, we wanted to highlight the milestones of others just as much as we rejoice our own. Dalit History Month is a global, month-long celebration honouring the fighting spirit and resistance of Dalit, Bahujan, and Adivasi communities is observed in April every year. Bollywood power couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have announced they are expecting their second child together. World Heritage Day is celebrated on April 18 annually marking the importance of protecting cultural sites around the world. The Ladakh Apricot Blossom festival also known as Chuli Mendok is an annual celebration of local culture laden with traditional music, dance and food, offering up an authentic experience of springtime in the Himalayas.
