Review
The poetic contemplations of Mamta Sharma distilled in the form of 25 poems that are accompanied by her own astute artwork and assembled in the Spectrum of Life express the inner core of spontaneity providing a poignant artistic vision while bridging classical Hindu spirituality with contemporary existential reflections. The poems in this selection are saturated with literary tropes such as metaphor and allegory, and the poet draws a parallel between literary creation and the cosmic manifestation, giving through her vision an erotic overlay to the natural process of life and death. In the poet s narrative, the boundary between the self and the other is breached through desire and eroticism, and her passion mingles the separate identities of two horizons. Reading these poems are inspiring and nourishing, both artistically and emotionally, as the very process of poetry is synthesized in her own words, our two bodies and a soul, our love is poetry in a whole. In a nutshell, this is discovering Vidyapati again.
