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

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
“No heartbreak can make a poet!
Poetry doesn’t stem from a broken heart
which fell apart
merely because someone left
and left a few marks to be felt,
dealt with and smelt
with emptiness and shallowness
of the breast.”
Alok Mishra, Thoughts Between Life and Death

Alok   Mishra
“Poetry, if it has too many layers, should at least lead readers to the openings of the caves the poet built with words and then let them explore on their own! If it does not happen, the travellers might return even without knocking at all!”
Alok Mishra

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
