This poetry collection is an impassioned exploration of life, contemplating its existential realities in rhapsodies and pensive reflections. There are poems in praise of earth, language, romance, sound, and the texture of home; in another dimension, there are treks through space and time, all the way to the moon, and also across centuries in search of lost treasure. Reflections on the tumultuous times we live in, dwell on war, disease, injustice.
Poetic forms range from sestina to free verse and ghazal in the ninety-two selected poems, set in nine sections - Language, Odyssey, Rhapsody, Epiphany, Reality, Earth, Trees, Sound. It is a setting where sudden meanings erupt, therefore, epiphanies abound!
Praise from Sonali Pattnaik - award winning poet, artist, academic and author.
'Smeetha's poetry is a fine example of form and content resonating with each other to create magical works of art.'
