| What can be said about a poetry collection as strange as Phantasus. The poem is a large prose poem full of images, sounds, and all sorts of dazzling lines of languages. Phantasus is the type of book I'll never understand and I applaud it. I feel like ...more | |

| The Discovery of Heaven is a book I'm still trying to make sense of. In many ways it resembles and shares problems with the post-postmodern European and American books of the 90s that have become classics in the last twenty years: overly long, too fo ...more | |

| Men in the Off Hours is my introduction to Anne Carson. It certainly makes clear to me why she is such a beloved poet. Anne Carson's work is erudite, piercing, superbly crafted, yet also emotive. Some of her poems leave you caught in your tracks and ...more | |

| Eunice de Souza's poetry is quite... interesting, to put it in bland words. De Souza is considered the matriarch of Indian English poetry. She is one of its finest practitioners, alongside Kamala Das. I decided to read de Souza's poetry from a place ...more | |
“In an ideal world, as connectivity progresses, each human of our world would function the way a cell functions in a human body. We would see each other in the context of our individuality but realise how our individual actions both directly and indirectly affect the greater Earth.

Thanks for expressing your interest! I hope you like the book!
Yes I am interested. I just ordered the Kindle version, but it will take me another week or so before I can begin reading your book. It sounds intriguing, and your write-up is very well written, which doesn’t happen very often. Thank you for the notification.Ginney
