Alok   Mishra
“Only if I knew
that knowing it would bring
a burden I could seldom carry
and ferry among those I know,
only to be rejected.”
Alok Mishra, Thoughts Between Life and Death

Alok   Mishra
“Literary criticism must venture into the dark streets of the unconscious and the mildly lit subconscious of the characters and the authors. However, it must not ignore the aesthetic and the apparent value of a literary work.”
Alok Mishra

Alok   Mishra
“Time has wasted itself
doing absolutely nothing!
I only wish it could turn back
and bring
me another opportunity
to experience and see,
fathom and breathe,
live with her and leave
the world on its own,
that night of passionate solitude.”
Alok Mishra, Thoughts Between Life and Death

Alok   Mishra
“Poetry is frequently introduced as an object of dissection rather than an experience of encounter. Students are trained to hunt for metaphors, symbols, and devices before they are allowed to feel the poem. This premature intellectualisation breeds anxiety rather than appreciation.”
Alok Mishra

Alok   Mishra
“Criticism that thrives on exaggeration or selective reading ultimately undermines its own credibility.”
Alok Mishra
