Fearing Poetry: What the Open Window brings

Dhoomil the celebrated poet from Varanasi once wrote “I have pulled down the curtains ofmy window/ the danger nowadays / isn’t from the light outside but from the one inside.”Poetry has that purpose to throw light on what is invisible within us our partner our familyand friends our societies the nature around us or the unnatural way that human societyrelates with nature.This invisible thing inside us can be sensed as a web: a web that binds but also a web thatcarries both nectar and poison. This collection of poems explores this web.
