A must-have collection for readers who want to flirt with the classical 'old world' charm of poetry that is also firmly anchored in fresh breaths of contemporary themes. The author paints vivid, ambient, and emotional landscapes with words, stitching fantastical narratives that catch you off guard. A poem on pressure cookers? Eggs, paperweights, pistachios, bears speaking French, a rat dating a nightingale, chickens entering the disco? These and several such surreal metaphors creatively explore grander concerns that also embody acute observations of human life and deeper layers of our collective psyche. Dollops of wit, romance, humor, hope, and satire have been lavishly scattered throughout the book, highlighting different shades of many elucidated topics. To summarize, this book is enamored with rich, intricately layered imagery and ideas in writing that probe a multitude of dimensions while maintaining affinity to the literary quality of its works.
