A Mini Minstrel's Mind

The poet is a young mind exploring her own emotions and feelings as she observes various occurrences involving human actions and nature's reactions. Her sensitive and ever-curious mind questions everything - things to do with people, nature, wars, human atrocities, injustice etc. She knows there are no easy answers to her questions. She takes readers through the complete gamut of emotions, going from agony to ecstasy and back and forth. Thoughts and feelings flow unabated like an eternal spring from the very depths of her heart. There is a strong affinity between the poet and nature. She feels flashes of pain and sorrow inflicted upon nature by her fellow beings out of their avarice. This anthology is a testimony to the turmoil our world is going through. Using free verse with great abandon, she echoes the cry of humanity asking for succour and salvation. The poems are a treasure house of rich vocabulary with powerful words used to bare the poet's heart and soul. Given the poet's youth, it is remarkable for having created a work bursting with gentle beauty at one level and a true depiction of raw cruelty at another, as the poet's endeavours to awake man's conscience.
