Tidal Interlude Gopal Lahiri

This collection is a journey into solitude; into the poet's mindscape, profound, philosophic, yet not totally unrealistic. Many of the poems are snatched moments of time, spun into unhurried music, meditating on man, nature and fragments of cityscape - flitting effortlessly in and out of each stratum is the poetic sensibility. Tidal Interlude sums up a certain musical quality that is echoed in the fine verse that reminds one of dewy silence(s) and clear crisp twilight of big skies and empty landscapes. These poems are the reflections of an accomplished poet, who weaves a beautiful web of temporal spaces in contrasting shades of light and darkness. - Usha Kishore (Poet and Translator) Isle of Man, United Kingdom
