    About this ebook

    Encompassing the shades of Platonic love and classical romanticism the philosophy of love crystallized in Sumit much beyond that with touch of pristine principles. The entwining of Yin and Yang of Taoism, the eternal interplay of Prakriti and Purusha of Samkhya philosophy or the everlasting attraction of dual forces of nature are emblemed in the verses of Sumit and that is why it becomes a philosophical journey to read his poems . Not All Roads Lead To Rome is much beyond mere romantic poems, it is a revelation of an enduring soul. A must read for a mind in romance.

    Author

    Sumit Datta

    Sumit’s verses entice the mind from noisy sequence of materialistic existence to silent placidity of unearthly surrealism. Romanticism for him is to nudge the realm of untouchable enigmas of aesthetics. He writes in different styles, like rhyming verse, free verse, haiku, haiku strings. He is a poet, painter, musician, and doctor.
