Book of Songs

Inspired by the Cult of Greece and the poetic efflorescence and emotional immediacy of Athenian tragedy, these poems set about the task of dealing with death. The maternal theme in this book expresses a young man’s search throughout the doldrums of society and the philosophical flights that poetry offers to find solace in his relentless search for the love that he was deprived as a youth. At times petulant and ennobled by callousness, at times hopelessly petty with inane emotions, the author takes a journey of the spirit to reach out to whom he knows, in his decaying memories, to be his mother.
