Blacklight

<p><strong><em>Blacklight</em></strong> is Husain Mehdi's third book of poetry. In an imaginative and humorous exploration of life love and science he reveals some of the mysteries that bind us in life. With the precision of a scientist and the soul of a poet Mehdi crafts verses that leap off the page dazzling and disarming in equal measure. His poetry unbound by convention dances between the intimate and the infinite from tender ghazals to meditations on time space and even the molecular essence of excrement.</p><p></p><p>This collection sings with whimsy and wisdom. Mehdi's tribute to the Beatles reimagines their music in poetic form while his reflections on love trace the fine line between heartbreak and transcendence. In his hands a kiss becomes a library of emotion and time is a mischievous force to be reckoned with. His words pirouette provoke and linger long after the page is turned.</p><p></p><p><strong><em>Blacklight </em></strong>invites you to step into its prism of thought where every poem is a secret revealed and every moment is refracted into something extraordinary. Prepare to murmur <em>wah wah</em> in wonder-you will mean it.</p><p></p><p>- Delsin Ajmal Holder Toronto poet</p><p> </p>
