Kahin Door Jakar… Dam Todne Ka Man Hota Hai / कहीं दूर जाकर... दम तोड़ने का मन होता है : A Poetry Collection / काव्य संग्रह

<p>Saumitras poetry has been a companion of mine for a time that stretches long and far weaving its way through the fabric of life. I have seen his verse evolve blossoming from the seeds of his early poems growing into the beautiful tapestry that tells the stories of relationships tender and intimate. In the irony of the times he remembers all the connections that bind us - brother and sister aunt mother and father. His poetry speaks of sorrow and pain yet not as an outcry but as a quiet whisper a gentle touch that reveals the depth of emotion hidden within silence. The chaos of life fades away replaced by the eloquence and beauty of his words. Saumitra finds a unique connection between relationships and the places that hold them. In poems like Bhopal Kabhi Nahi Gaya he captures the ever-changing landscape of human emotions intertwining them with the abstract geography of cities that exist deep within our hearts. It is said that a true poet embraces the local finding meaning in the smallest of places allowing them to travel the world through their verse. Like Viren Dangwal Saumitra discovers poetry in every subject from the darkest corners of incurable disease to the enigmatic realms of quantum physics. His words illuminate each topic with poetic light making the waves of life force burst forth. Saumitra walks with his poetic tradition not simply alongside life but immersed in its very essence. In his poetry one can find happiness and sorrow hope and despair yet he stands firmly against fatigue and defeat. It is this power this unwavering strength that makes his poetry truly remarkable.</p></br> </br> <p>-Hari Bhatnagar</p>
