Description: Singh’s present collection, comprising of 98 poems, has the unique literary gifts of supreme poetic craftsmanship, lyrical effusions and mature philosophical reflections. What distinguishes the volume is its extraordinary candour in delineating both the inner and the external worlds of the poet. Poems exhibit a curious mixture of the subjective and objective elements, as some of the poems are directly from the heart of the poet, while others offer ‘a criticism of life’ with the whiff of pitiless irony in them. The ordinary, trivial and mundane affairs of life are catalyzed into ‘a thing of beauty’ by the imaginative flights of the poet. The raw material, provided by the contemporary ethos, has been well processed/churned in the workshop of Singh’s creative faculty.
