Of Love and Loss is self explanatory poems responding to the heartache of love and memories gone. Diversions \u0026amp; Reflections are poems of response to the moment, creative outbursts responding to the moment. \u003ci.conversing with the spirits alludes to sources of ideas and inspiration includes poems exploring poets role identity. coming my senses is about finding place in here now through poetic experience. it summing up understanding that poetry not an escape a frill or crutch but discovery deeper reality giving attention sense moment.in preface i writing for me has always been experiment extension awareness searching into internal life emotion thought. practice reawakening language by seeking novel ways put words together just game wordplay refocus mind bringing themselves things they point see them strangely new hear create music their rhythm sound. gently shake reader awake front image perhaps from dream may make much there wonder artistry. something still marvelous meaningful world even its uncertain elusive presence if this stuff dont know what is. then search celebration revelation explanation comment on rather inner thought consciousness reverence.the moment begins ends minds silence within wide timeless utterances subtle responses feeding roots ideas. ties philosophy real demands religion questing soul unveils values otherwise common habitual world.these are records some these moments. meditations reflections more than compositions. form each poem takes arises turning attempt dissolve outer reach pure state cognition origin seeks wistful find answer though end mystery we must forget illumination which first discovered gives birth imagination who like child gleams at every thing. comment:=\"\" question:=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/i.conversing\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53028382507287,"sku":null,"price":1213.44,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9781469101705.jpg?v=1780994976","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/te\/products\/coming-to-my-senses-9781469101705","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
