RIVER SONG And Other Poems

By p k

The poet looks at the world around him in wonder to find Sisyphean struggle in an insect, the mute agony of a bird, the song and sorrow of a poisoned river, a gifted painter of the sky, the angst of a father, the stifled longing of a son for love, and much more. Ageless anxieties, dreams, and aspirations, as well as contemporary fears of the pandemic, come under the poet's gaze and passionate inquiry. With dispassionate objectivity, often laughing at his own follies and foibles, predilections and prejudices; he endeavors to make sense of life and matter, and share his understanding with the readers.

The sublime and the irreverent rub shoulders in these poems; even serious themes like suffering, sorrow, separation, and death are treated with gentle satire and self-deprecating humour.

A collection of poems that would amaze and engage, provoke and agitate, calm and soothe the readers.
