Satrangi Dhage

Most of the poems in this collection were written during the thee-year period of the Covid-19 pandemic (2020-2022). Some of the poems comment on the isolation and loneliness felt by many people during this period and thus question the current state and future of human civilization. The poem that serves as anchor in this book is " . . . ". This poem imagines the creation of the universe and is inspired from current scientific knowledge and Indian philosophy. Some poems question the human instinct to fall back into old ways of thinking when facing new challenges, and inspire the reader to adopt the new and fight on. Also included in this book are some of the early poems of the author, which were written when he was in his late teens. Finally, the author has also included a selection of his English language poems to present a range of his experiments with poetry. The author believes that, along with his wordplay, his thoughts constitute the core foundation of his poems.
