About this ebook

Ephemeral Echoes is an extension of Ali’s passion for poetry: a manifestation of his philosophy and intellectualism. The Twenty Twenty-One Edition is a florilegium of his poetic discourses, which are culminations of his reflections on (the schema of) existence as personifications of Sounds, where the essence of existence is Flux i.e. Flowing-Sounds. The poems relate to various facets of the human condition i.e. illusion, self, emotionality, rationality, dichotomy, subjectivity, objectivity, singularity, multiplicity, et cetera. The anthology is an invitation to everyone to embark upon a reflective odyssey.
