About the Book

I feel ecstatic in offering this poetry anthology titledCatharsis to you. Catharsis, yes, that’s what it is in form as well as spirit-relief from the release of strong emotions. Robert Frost so aptly says, ‘Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words’!As a poet I truly live the intent imbuing this statement. Of late I have been predominantly writing fiction, but all the same, Igleefullyfind myself ever ready to respond to the knocks of poetry at my soul. Soul, yes, as I believe poetry springs straight from thesoul, and hence it is pure and pristine.As the German poet Novalis says,‘Poetryheals the wounds inflicted by reason’.
