Verses of Experience and Reflection  (Paperback, Om Joy Halder)

"Poetry is all about life, About joy, pain, love and laughter, About one’s struggles to survive, Tales, which live during lifetime and after. The poems of this book have been composed When something touched my heart, As I like it the most In letting my emotions out through my only known art. Most of them were done in the last one year And few during days of college and school. Hope, readers would love them to read and hear As they were written with emotions full." In this time of gloom and doom, the verses came as a waft of fresh air. The syllabic rhyme accentuates the innocence and fluidity of the verses. The book is a rich kaleidoscope of distilled emotions that is expansive in its scope and cathartic in its expression. It does a good job of touching the right chords. I hope that the book is well received not only by the cognoscenti but also the less sophisticated readers of verses. – Prof. Anirban Chakraborty, IIML
