A short review of WANDERING WORDS

 I have known Prabhat Kumar Singh since the 1990s as a distinguished academic, besides being a prominent Indian English poet, critic, and translator from Gaya in Bihar. It's so nice of him to have sent me his latest collection of poems WANDERING WORDS: POEMS (ISBN 978-93-6095-461-1) published recently by Authors Press,  New Delhi.  I enjoyed reading it.

Prabhat's poetry demonstrates a profound understanding of human experience, weaving together intellect and emotion in a way that resonates deeply with readers. His grasp of tradition and modernity in quotidian life, keen observations with authenticity and depth, and literary significance deserves wider audience and recognition.  As noted elsewhere, he delivers "his punches with velvet gloves spreading a set of scintillating images and metaphors."

I feel proud to join him in his revelations of human reality and  creating a harmonious and civilised society through words.
