Some Resonance Some Desire

By International Publishing Centre

Poetry is basically an interplay of words and rhythm. It often employs the blending of ideas and imagination. Poet's heart is attuned to the changing patterns of the society and its surroundings, its landscapes and seasons, its sorrow and malice, its dream and hope.

In this collection of poems, 'Some Resonance Some Desire', I instigate a different kind of possibility in poetry and a more sustained of attention to language. The resonance and desire widen the space for individual feeling, for self-examination, for second judgements, for admission.

The book has three segments, 'Effulgence', 'Cadence' and 'Tapestry' and each section carries curiosity about the ways in which our physical world and selves are pulled continually toward disbanding and dispersal.

My poems in this collection employ many of the forms of poetry, like free verse, sonnet, haiku, senryu, haibun, and memoir that draw the readers in through the gleam of images and metaphors resulting a distilled poetic mien. The language operates here at different ways.

I discover in poetry that I am not participating in something which can-not be explained or apprehended by reason or understanding alone. I participate in the imaginary.

This writing has a subtlety that uniquely prompts new techniques and language usage. And the image, which Wyndham Lewis refers as 'primary pigment' of poetry, relates to the painterly content of the language. It has an opulent element, a mental component as well. There is something reassuring about the harmony that emerges from the images.  Here the poems sink into images and sensations that finally draw out the essence of the composite.

Each of us is a seeker in quest of fulfilment. Desire for the other means we are not entirely appropriate, not entirely complete unto ourselves. We need each other- the poet and the reader. The encounter is unprecedented- the poet brings certain resonance, certain desire, the reader certain understandings certain experiences.

As they say, there is no poetry without desire. The poet and a reader are brought together through a midway path, an ingenious act of devotion, a poem. Our desire and need for each other are mutual.

I always evoke various subjects and does not stop crossing the lines from traditional to more contemporary writing styles and urge my readers to join me in this journey. I believe everything depends on the reciprocity, the intimate interrelationship between the poet, the poem and the reader.

Preface

Poetry is basically an interplay of words and rhythm. It often employs the blending of ideas and imagination. Poet’s heart is attuned to the changing patterns of the society and its surroundings, its landscapes and seasons, its sorrow and malice, its dream and hope.

In this collection of poems, ‘Some Resonance Some Desire’, I instigate a different kind of possibility in poetry and a more sustained of attention to language. The resonance and desire widen the space for individual feeling, for self-examination, for second judgements, for admission.

The book has three segments, ‘Effulgence’, ‘Cadence’ and ‘Tapestry’ and each section carries curiosity about the ways in which our physical world and selves are pulled continually toward disbanding and dispersal.

My poems in this collection employ many of the forms of poetry, like free verse, sonnet, haiku, senryu, haibun, and memoir that draw the readers in through the gleam of images and metaphors resulting a distilled poetic mien. The language operates here at different ways.

I discover in poetry that I am not participating in something which can-not be explained or apprehended by reason or understanding alone. I participate in the imaginary.

This writing has a subtlety that uniquely prompts new techniques and language usage. And the image, which Wyndham Lewis refers as ‘primary pigment’ of poetry, relates to the painterly content of the language. It has an opulent element, a mental component as well. There is something reassuring about the harmony that emerges from the images.  Here the poems sink into images and sensations that finally draw out the essence of the composite.

Each of us is a seeker in quest of fulfilment. Desire for the other means we are not entirely appropriate, not entirely complete unto ourselves. We need each other- the poet and the reader. The encounter is unprecedented- the poet brings certain resonance, certain desire, the reader certain understandings certain experiences.

As they say, there is no poetry without desire. The poet and a reader are brought together through a midway path, an ingenious act of devotion, a poem. Our desire and need for each other are mutual.

I always evoke various subjects and does not stop crossing the lines from traditional to more contemporary writing styles and urge my readers to join me in this journey. I believe everything depends on the reciprocity, the intimate interrelationship between the poet, the poem and the reader.

Foreword

I first had the opportunity of interacting with Gopal Lahiri when we collaborated on a book, From Prinsep Ghat to Peer Panjal: Kashmir and Kolkata poems, [Blue Pencil, 2021], which shot up to the Amazon Number 1 bestselling rank within a  couple of days of its publication. It was indeed a euphoric moment for us. Later, I read and reviewed his book, Alleys are filled with future Alphabets, and was mesmerized by his stunning imagery and unique wordplay.

There is an interesting incident that I have related many a time regarding this book. Lahiri was gracious enough to send me this book, but I am robustly convinced that the postman, a poetry lover, inadvertently opened the packet, and having gone through the book, did not feel like parting with it. Hence the book never reached me, alas!

In his latest collection, Some Resonance Some Desire (Selected Poems), the reader is treated to exquisite poetic delicacies of haibun, haiku, and heart-warming memoirs- mystical, nostalgic, haunting,
