Entwining Shadows

By Valsa George

..... an evocative collection of poems that deals with life almost in its entirety, starting from childhood and ending in old age and death. Birth and Death.... being two ineluctable constants of life and two intertwining realities, the poet handles these antithetical themes with equal panache. The themes of life, love, loss and death are virtually meshed into a single unit and she weaves a rich tapestry of life with words and images. In many poems, the poet dwells on the transition from the heydays of vigorous youth to the chill of crippling old age. But never does she deny that if life is a challenge and an adventure, death is a passport to an eternal life. The collection rings with wistful longings and nostalgia for the prime days of life, now irrecoverably lost. Love is a recurring subject and the poet handles it with elan and exquisite charm. There is a rare blend of passion and poignancy in them. Most of the poems are rhyming and musical and their subtle strains and message will caress the readers like a whiff of fresh air invigorating them to higher realms and creating in them a fresh zest for life
