ADRISHYA KA A
Swadesh Kumar Bhatnagar
Prakash Book Depot
9789391984038 $TBA, 175 pp.

Beautifully printed and tastefully got up, Swadesh Kumar Bhatnagar's hard bound book, ADRISHYA KA A, is a readable collection of short lyrics, micropoems and free form poems the poet calls 'prose poems'. Rajiv Saxena views them as metaphysical, confessional, and genuine in his rather long Introduction. Rakesh Raj Bhatnagar, in another introductory, distincts them as unique, unparalleled, and rich in imagery with "spiritual surrealism ".

I appreciate Swadesh Bhatnagar's sense of poetry, compactness, instantness, and formal flow without wasting words. One will hear echoes of his knowledge, experience, reflection, and viewpoint. He provides readers a lot of space to connect with our complex time and deeper issues with a sense of empathy.

Highly recommended to lovers of current poetry in Hindi.
